The Stanford CoreNLP Natural Language Processing Toolkit
We describe the design and use of the Stanford CoreNLP toolkit, an extensible pipeline that provides core natural language analysis. This toolkit is quite widely used, both in the research NLP community and also among commercial and government users of open source NLP technology. We suggest that this follows from a simple, approachable design,… (More)
Reranking and Self-Training for Parser Adaptation
Statistical parsers trained and tested on the Penn Wall Street Journal (WSJ) treebank have shown vast improvements over the last 10 years. Much of this improvement, however, is based upon an ever-increasing number of features to be trained on (typically) the WSJ treebank data. This has led to concern that such parsers may be too finely tuned to this corpus… (More)
A Simple Distant Supervision Approach for the TAC-KBP Slot Filling Task
This paper describes the design and implementation of the slot filling system prepared by Stanford's natural language processing group for the 2010 Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track at the Text Analysis Conference (TAC). Our system relies on a simple distant supervision approach using mainly resources furnished by the track organizers: we used slot… (More)
Model Combination for Event Extraction in BioNLP 2011
We describe the FAUST entry to the BioNLP 2011 shared task on biomolecular event extraction. The FAUST system explores several stacking models for combination using as base models the UMass dual decomposition (Riedel and McCallum, 2011) and Stan-ford event parsing (McClosky et al., 2011b) approaches. We show that using stacking is a straightforward way to… (More)
Automatic Domain Adaptation for Parsing
Current statistical parsers tend to perform well only on their training domain and nearby gen-res. While strong performance on a few related domains is sufficient for many situations, it is advantageous for parsers to be able to generalize to a wide variety of domains. When parsing document collections involving heterogeneous domains (e.g. the web), the… (More)
Self-Training for Biomedical Parsing
Parser self-training is the technique of taking an existing parser, parsing extra data and then creating a second parser by treating the extra data as further training data. Here we apply this technique to parser adaptation. In particular , we self-train the standard Char-niak/Johnson Penn-Treebank parser using unlabeled biomedical abstracts. This achieves… (More)
The Role of Context Types and Dimensionality in Learning Word Embeddings
We provide the first extensive evaluation of how using different types of context to learn skip-gram word embeddings affects performance on a wide range of intrinsic and ex-trinsic NLP tasks. Our results suggest that while intrinsic tasks tend to exhibit a clear preference to particular types of contexts and higher dimensionality, more careful tuning is… (More)
Improving Unsupervised Dependency Parsing with Richer Contexts and Smoothing
Unsupervised grammar induction models tend to employ relatively simple models of syntax when compared to their supervised counterparts. Traditionally, the unsupervised models have been kept simple due to tractabil-ity and data sparsity concerns. In this paper, we introduce basic valence frames and lexical information into an unsupervised dependency grammar… (More)
