Heuristics

An environment built around WEDNESDAY 2, a chart based parser is introduced. The environment is in particular oriented towards exploring dynamic aspects of parsing. It includses a number of specialized …...

This paper discussers general hem'istics to control computation on symbolic constraints represented in terms of first-order logic programs. These heuristics are totally independen! of specific domains and tasks. Efficient computation …...

This paper attempts to develop a theory of heuristics or preferences that can be shared be- tween understanding and generation systems. We first develop a formal analysis of preferences and …...

When human tutors engage in dialogue, they freely exploit all aspects of the mutually known context, including the previous discourse. Utterances that do not draw on previous discourse seem awkward, …...

We propose a method to improve search time and space complexity in statistical machine translation architectures, by employing linguistic bracketing information on the source language sentence. It is one of …...

Decoding algorithm is a crucial part in sta- tistical machine translation. We describe a stack decoding algorithm in this paper. We present the hypothesis scoring method and the heuristics used …...

Spam filtering is a text categorization task that shows especial features that make it interest- ing and difficult. First, the task has been per- formed traditionally using heuristics from the …...

Distributional approaches to grammar in- duction are typically inefficient, enumer- ating large numbers of candidate con- stituents. In this paper, we describe a simplified model of distributional analy- sis which …...

Code-switching is an interesting linguistic phenomenon commonly observed in highly bilingual communities. It consists of mixing languages in the same conversational event. This paper presents results on Part-of-Speech tagging Spanish-English …...

Past work on learning part-of-speech taggers from tag dictionaries and raw data has re- ported good results, but the assumptions made about those dictionaries are often unrealistic: due to historical …...

AbstractThis article describes a methodology of recovering and preservation of old Romanian texts and problems related to their recognition. Our focus is to create a gold corpus for Romanian language …...

Cognitive science researchers have em- phasized the importance of ordering a complex task into a sequence of easy to hard problems. Such an ordering provides an easier path to learning …...

AbstractThe objective of interactive translation prediction (ITP), a paradigm of computer-aided translation, is to assist professional translators by offering context-based computer-generated suggestions as they type. While most state-of-the-art ITP systems …...

AbstractIn this paper we present our approach and the system description for Sub Task A and Sub Task B of SemEval 2019 Task 6: Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in …...

AbstractWe present algorithms for aligning components of Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) graphs to spans in English sentences. We leverage unsupervised learning in combination with heuristics, taking the best of both …...

AbstractThe ability to infer pre- and postconditions of an action is vital for comprehending complex instructions, and is essential for applications such as autonomous instruction-guided agents and assistive AI that …...
