The growing availability of online textual sources and the potential number of applications of
knowledge acquisition from textual data has lead to an increase in Information Extraction …

Abstract The Proposition Bank project takes a practical approach to semantic representation,
adding a layer of predicate-argument information, or semantic role labels, to the syntactic …

The Handbook of Natural Language Processing, Second Edition presents practical tools
and techniques for implementing natural language processing in computer systems. Along …

The Message Understanding Conferences (MUCs) represent one of the earliest and longest
running efforts to evaluate language understanding technology. This article reviews the …

We assume that the tokenization of a sentence is fixed and known at parsing time. That is to
say that dependency parsers will always operate on a pre-tokenized input and are not …

When I planned this book in 1999, it was intended to be a survey of current work in text
summarization. The survey would discuss various efforts in the context of a framework for …

This article describes a number of log-linear parsing models for an automatically extracted
lexicalized grammar. The models are “full” parsing models in the sense that probabilities are …

Machine learning based on various forms of inductive inference has been used for a wide
range of problems in natural language processing, with syntactic parsing being one of the …

Lexical-semantic resources, including thesauri and WORDNET, have been successfully
incorporated into a wide range of applications in Natural Language Processing. However …

Robustness is a key issue for natural language processing in general and parsing in
particular, and many approaches have been explored in the last decade for the design of …
