Learning Parse and Translation Decisions From Examples With Rich Context
Ulf Hermjakob,Raymond J. Mooney +1 more
TL;DR: The authors presented a knowledge and context-based system for parsing and translating natural language and evaluate it on sentences from the Wall Street Journal, using parse action examples acquired under supervision to generate a deterministic shift-reduce parser.

Natural Language Based Reformulation Resource and Wide Exploitation for Question Answering.
TL;DR: It is described and evaluated how a generalized natural language based reformulation resource in the TextMap question answering system improves web exploitation and answer pinpointing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Parsing English into Abstract Meaning Representation Using Syntax-Based Machine Translation
TL;DR: This work transforms the AMR structure into a form suitable for the mechanics of SBMT and useful for modeling, and introduces an AMR-specific language model and adds data and features drawn from semantic resources.
