A Corpus and Cloze Evaluation for Deeper Understanding of Commonsense Stories

N. Mostafazadeh, Nathanael Chambers, +5 authors James F. Allen
Computer Science
HLT-NAACL
6 April 2016

This paper introduces a new corpus of 50k five-sentence commonsense stories that captures a rich set of causal and temporal commonsense relations between daily events. Expand

Exploring Content Models for Multi-Document Summarization

A. Haghighi, Lucy Vanderwende

HLT-NAACL
31 May 2009

We present an exploration of generative probabilistic models for multi-document summarization. Expand

The Impact of Frequency on Summarization

A. Nenkova, Lucy Vanderwende, Lucy Vanderwende
Computer Science
2005

We describe SumBasic, a summarization system that exploits frequency exclusively to create summaries. Expand

Visual Storytelling

Ting-Hao Kenneth Huang, F. Ferraro, +12 authors Margaret Mitchell
Computer Science
HLT-NAACL
13 April 2016

We introduce the first dataset for sequential vision-to-language, and explore how this data may be used for the task of visual storytelling. Expand

Using Contextual Speller Techniques and Language Modeling for ESL Error Correction

M. Gamon, Jianfeng Gao, +4 authors Lucy Vanderwende
Computer Science
IJCNLP
2008

We present a modular system for detection and correction of errors made by nonnative (English as a Second Language = ESL) writers. Expand

Beyond SumBasic: Task-focused summarization with sentence simplification and lexical expansion

Lucy Vanderwende, H. Suzuki, Chris Brockett, A. Nenkova
Computer Science, Medicine
Information Processing & Management
19 April 2007

We evaluate our results on two large datasets commonly used to evaluate task-focused summarization, the DUC2005 and DUC2006 datasets, using automatic metrics. Expand

A compositional context sensitive multi-document summarizer: exploring the factors that influence summarization

A. Nenkova, Lucy Vanderwende, K. McKeown
Computer Science
SIGIR
6 August 2006

A frequency based summarizer can achieve performance comparable to that of state-of-the-art systems, but only with a good composition function; context sensitivity improves performance and significantly reduces repetition. Expand

Generating Natural Questions About an Image

N. Mostafazadeh, I. Misra, J. Devlin, M. Mitchell, X. He, Lucy Vanderwende
Computer Science
ACL
19 March 2016

In this paper, we introduce the novel task of Visual Question Generation (VQG), where the system is tasked with asking a natural and engaging question when shown an image. Expand

A Corpus and Evaluation Framework for Deeper Understanding of Commonsense Stories

N. Mostafazadeh, Nathanael Chambers, +5 authors James F. Allen
Computer Science
ArXiv
6 April 2016

This paper introduces a new corpus of ~50k five-sentence commonsense stories, ROCStories, to enable this evaluation. Expand
