Parsing 2-Dimensional Language
2-Dimensional Context-Free Grammar (2D-CFG) for 2-dimensional input text is introduced and efficient parsing algorithms for 2D-CFG are presented. In 2D-CFG, a grammar rule's right hand side symbols can be placed not only horizontally but also vertically. Terminal symbols in a 2-dimensional input text are combined to fo...

Event Extraction as Multi-turn Question Answering
Event extraction, which aims to identify event triggers of pre-defined event types and their arguments of specific roles, is a challenging task in NLP. Most traditional approaches formulate this task as classification problems, with event types or argument roles taken as golden labels. Such approaches fail to model ric...

Parallax: Visualizing and Understanding the Semantics of Embedding Spaces via Algebraic Formulae
Embeddings are a fundamental component of many modern machine learning and natural language processing models. Understanding them and visualizing them is essential for gathering insights about the information they capture and the behavior of the models. In this paper, we introduce Parallax 1 , a tool explicitly designe...

The INCEpTION Platform: Machine-Assisted and Knowledge-Oriented Interactive Annotation
We introduce INCEpTION, a new annotation platform for tasks including interactive and semantic annotation (e.g., concept linking, fact linking, knowledge base population, semantic frame annotation). These tasks are very time consuming and demanding for annotators, especially when knowledge bases are used. We address th...

CDRNN: Discovering Complex Dynamics in Human Language Processing
The human mind is a dynamical system, yet many analysis techniques used to study it are limited in their ability to capture the complex dynamics that may characterize mental processes. This study proposes the continuoustime deconvolutional regressive neural network (CDRNN), a deep neural extension of continuous-time de...

Building upon previous standardization initiatives, above all ISO/IEC 9126, 14598 and EAGLES, we attempt to classify into a coherent taxonomy most of the characteristics, attributes and metrics that have...

Locations in the machine translation of prepositional phrases
An approach to the machine translation of locative prepositional phrases (PP) is presented. The technique has been implemented for use in an experimental transfer-based, multilingual machine translation system. Previous approaches to this problem are described and they are compared to the solution presented.
