A Minimally Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation Algorithm Using Syntactic Dependencies and Semantic Generalizations
… The method is based on constraints imposed by syntactic dependencies and concept generalizations drawn from an external dictionary. The method was tested on standard benchmarks as used during the SENSEVAL-2 and SENSEVAL-3 WSD international evaluation exercises, and was found to be competitive.

An expectation model of referring expressions
… expressions. EMRE is proposed as a model of non-syntactic dependencies - in particular, discourse-level semantic dependencies that bridge sentence gaps. These include but are not limited to anaphora (references to noun phrases in previous sentences) and coherence predicates such as causality, …

N-gram models of agreement in language
… of close proximity semantic words and the strong syntactic dependencies exhibited in patterns of grammatical words, while many low-utility n-grams that include words from both classes are eliminated. In addition, by reducing regularly inflected words to their base forms and moving inflectional …

Individual differences in sentence processing
… components including separate components for syntactic and non-syntactic verbal processing, or is dependent on a unitary pool of resources shared across all verbal domains. However, recent memory research has suggested that the capacity-theory architecture may be incorrect. Instead of a …

Licensing without Case
Abstract Case is a conjectured syntactic property of noun phrases that accounts for aspects of their distribution and form that do not otherwise follow from their PF and LF content (Chomsky 1981, 1986; Chomsky & Lasnik 1995; Lasnik 2008). Traditionally, Case Theory consists of two core components: …

Constrained word alignment models for statistical machine translation
… we propose two new word alignment models using syntactic dependencies as soft constraints. The first model is a syntactically enhanced discriminative word alignment model, where we use a set of feature functions to express the syntactic dependency information encoded in both source and target …

Coming to agreement: representation and processing of English subject-verb agreement in acquisition
"Syntactic dependencies provide a useful window on children’s grammatical development. In this project, we use subject-verb agreement as a tool for investigating how young children learn and process formal linguistic relationships, considering both classic questions about the role of semantic and …

The Cognitive Underpinnings of Legal Complexity
… limitations imposed by long-distance syntactic dependencies as opposed to a mere lack of specialized legal knowledge. Chapter III extends these results to other legal genres and investigates the cognitive and linguistic profile of law over time. Analyzing every law passed by congress …

User behavior modeling: Towards solving the duality of interpretability and precision
… an improved text representation by leveraging syntactic dependencies between the words in the tweet. We also estimate the abusive behavior of users, i.e., their likelihood of posting offensive content online from their tweets. We further show that combining the textual and user behavioral …
