TL;DR: A simple and scalable algorithm for clustering tens of millions of phrases and using the resulting clusters as features in discriminative classifiers to demonstrate the power and generality of this approach.
Abstract: We present a simple and scalable algorithm for clustering tens of millions of phrases and use the resulting clusters as features in discriminative classifiers. To demonstrate the power and generality of this approach, we apply the method in two very different applications: named entity recognition and query classification. Our results show that phrase clusters offer significant improvements over word clusters. Our NER system achieves the best current result on the widely used CoNLL benchmark. Our query classifier is on par with the best system in KDDCUP 2005 without resorting to labor intensive knowledge engineering efforts.

TL;DR: In this article, a negative relationship was found between the frequency with which a figure was referred to and the mean length of its reference phrase, and the length of the reference phrase for each figure was calculated.
Abstract: Pairs of subjects interacted in a problem-solving task which required them to communicate about ambiguous figures. The length of the reference phrase for each figure was calculated. A negative relationship was found between the frequency with which a figure was referred to and the mean length of its reference phrase.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a large-scale corpus analysis indicating that pronominal object relative clauses are significantly more frequent than subject relative clauses when the embedded pronoun is personal, but this difference was reversed when impersonal pronouns constituted the embedded noun phrase.

TL;DR: This paper found that delaying the presentation of disambiguating information until after the occurrence of an ambiguous target lengthened fixation times for words with multiple meanings (the concrete vs. abstract sense of library, poem).

TL;DR: This article examined initiation times for memorized utterances and found that participants tend to pause at the subject-verb phrase boundary, and pause duration increased with upcoming complexity, just like initiation times.
