The Web as a Parallel Corpus

P. Resnik, Noah A. Smith
Computer Science
Computational Linguistics
1 September 2003

We report on our work using the STRAND system for mining parallel text on the World Wide Web, first reviewing the original algorithm and results and presenting a set of significant enhancements. Expand

Bootstrapping parsers via syntactic projection across parallel texts

Rebecca Hwa, P. Resnik, A. Weinberg, Clara I. Cabezas, O. Kolak
Computer Science

1 September 2005

We explore using parallel text to help solving the problem of creating syntactic annotation in more languages. Expand

Online Large-Margin Training of Syntactic and Structural Translation Features

David Chiang, Yuval Marton, P. Resnik
Computer Science
EMNLP
25 October 2008

We show that by parallel processing and exploiting more of the parse forest, we can obtain results using MIRA that match or surpass MERT in terms of both translation quality and computational cost. Expand

Selection and information: a class-based approach to lexical relationships

P. Resnik
Mathematics
2 January 1993

Selectional constraints are limitations on the applicability of predicates to arguments. For example, the statement "The number two is blue" may be syntactically well formed, but at some level it is… Expand

A Rule-Based Approach to Prepositional Phrase Attachment Disambiguation

E. Brill, P. Resnik
Computer Science
COLING
5 August 1994

In this paper, we describe a new corpus-based approach to prepositional phrase attachment disambiguation. Expand

Generalizing Word Lattice Translation

C. Dyer, S. Muresan, P. Resnik
Computer Science
ACL
1 February 2008

Word lattice decoding has proven useful in spoken language translation; we argue that it provides a compelling model for translation of text genres, as well. Expand

Disambiguating Noun Groupings with Respect to Wordnet Senses

P. Resnik
Computer Science
VLC@ACL
29 November 1995

We present a method for automatic sense disambiguation of nouns appearing within sets of related nouns — the kind of data one finds in thesauri, or as the output of distributional clustering algorithms. Expand

Selectional Preference and Sense Disambiguation

P. Resnik
Computer Science
Workshop On Tagging Text With Lexical Semantics…
1997

This paper explores how a statistical model of selectional preference, requiring neither manual annotation of selection restrictions nor supervised training, can be used in sense disambiguation. Expand
