Adding syntactic information to LSA

by Peter Wiemer-Hastings - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE COGNITIVE SCIENCE SOCIETY , 2000
"... Much effort has been expended in the field of Natural Language Understanding in developing methods for deriving the syntactic structure of a text. It is still unclear, however, to what extent syntactic information actually matters for the representation of meaning. LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis ..."

Dependency treelet translation: Syntactically informed phrasal SMT

by Chris Quirk, Arul Menezes, Colin Cherry , 2005
"... We describe a novel approach to statistical machine translation that combines syntactic information in the source language with recent advances in phrasal translation. This method requires a source-language dependency parser, target language word segmentation and an unsupervised word alignment compo ..."

Incorporating Syntactic Information in Question Answering

by Xiaoyan Li, W. Bruce Croft
"... Syntactic information potentially plays a much more important role in question answering than it does in information retrieval. The aim of the experiment described in this paper is to study the impact of a particular approach for using syntactic information on question answering effectiveness. The T ..."

Syntactically-Informed Models for . . .

by Benoit Favre, Dilek Hakkani-Tür, Elizabeth Shriberg
"... Providing punctuation in speech transcripts not only improves readability, but it also helps downstream text processing such as information extraction or machine translation. In this paper, we improve by 7 % the accuracy of comma prediction in English broadcast news by introducing syntactic features ..."

Improving Intonational Phrasing With Syntactic Information

by Philipp Koehn, Steven Abney, Julia Hirschberg, Michael Collins , 2000
"... The prediction of intonational phrase boundaries from raw text is an important step for a text-to-speech system: Locating where to place short pauses enables more natural sounding speech, that can be more easily understood. We improved upon earlier work [Hirschberg and Prieto, 1996] by adding syntac ..."

syntactic information gained from a highaccuracy parser [Collins, 1999]. We report signicant improvement using various experimental setups. We also show that our improved method comes close to interannotator agreement.

The lexical nature of syntactic ambiguity resolution

by Maryellen C Macdonald, Neal J Pearlmutter, Mark S Seidenberg - Psychological Review , 1994
"... Ambiguity resolution is a central problem in language comprehension. Lexical and syntactic ambiguities are standardly assumed to involve different types of knowledge representations and be resolved by different mechanisms. An alternative account is provided in which both types of ambiguity derive fr ..."

Using Syntactic Information to Identify Plagiarism

by Özlem Uzuner, Boris Katz, Thade Nahnsen - Proc. 2nd Workshop on Building Educational Applications using NLP. Ann Arbor , 2005
"... Using keyword overlaps to identify plagiarism can result in many false negatives and positives: substitution of synonyms for each other reduces the similarity between works, making it difficult to recognize plagiarism; overlap in ambiguous keywords can falsely inflate the similarity of works that ar ..."
Abstract - Cited by 8 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
by adding a crucial dimension to evaluation of similarity: documents that share linguistic elements in addition to content are more likely to be copied from each other. In this paper, we present a set of low-level syntactic structures that capture creative aspects of writing and show that information about

Syntactic Information and its Morphological Expression

by Peter Sells , 2004
"... In this paper I will look at some cases of apparent mismatch between the actual morphological forms of verbs and the intuitive syntactic and semantic content of those verbs. In the first case, a piece of the grammatical content in a clause is multiply-marked on verbal forms in the clause; in the sec ..."

Corpus representativeness for syntactic information acquisition
