LingPipe for 99.99 % Recall 1 LingPipe for 99.99 % Recall of Gene Mentions (2008)

Bob Carpenter

Text data mining over biomedical research literature is a needle-in-a-haystack problem. We contend that first-best methods performing at 90 % F-measure are insufficient, especially given that...

Switch Graphs for Parsing Type Logical Grammars ∗ (2008)

Bob Carpenter

Parsing in type logical grammars amounts to theorem proving in a substructural logic. This paper takes the proof net presentation of Lambek’s associative calculus as a case study. It introduces...

German Word Order and "Linearization" in Type-Logical Grammar (2007)

Bob Carpenter Lucent, Bob Carpenter

We demonstrate how the type-theoretical approach to integrating syntax and semantics provides a straightforward, coherent and empirically accurate account of the basic facts of German word order. We...

Set Descriptions for Logic Programming (2007)

Bob Carpenter

We present a description language for individuals and sets, and show how it can be used as the basis for constraint logic programming (clp). Such a language has applications to databases, natural...

NLP-III PROJECT RECOGNIZING CARELESS SPEECH (2007)

Laura June Mayfield, Nlp-iii Instructor, Bob Carpenter

Careless speech is a problem for speech recognition. Spoken quickly, strings of words take on a form that is not well represented by concatenations of canonical phonetic transcriptions; fast speech...

Head-Driven Parsing for Word Lattices (2004)

Christopher Collins, Bob Carpenter, Gerald Penn

We present the first application of the head-driven statistical parsing model of Collins (1999) as a simultaneous language model and parser for largevocabulary speech recognition. The model is...

Vector-based natural language call routing (1999)

Jennifer Chu-carroll, Bob Carpenter

This paper describes a domain-independent, automatically trained natural language call router for directing incoming calls in a call center. Our call router directs customer calls based on their...

Human Versus Machine: Psycholinguistics Meets ASR (1999)

Bob Carpenter

In this talk, I concentrate on what is known about human lexical access and sentence processing and how it should inform our research on building automatic speech recognition systems. A brief survey...

Probabilistic Parsing Using Left Corner Language Models (1997)

We introduce a novel parser based on a probabilistic version of a left-corner parser. The left-corner strategy is attractive because rule probabilities can be conditioned on both top-down goals and...

this paper, we demonstrate that the multimodal categorial grammars are in fact Turing-complete in their weak generative capacity. The result follows from a straightforward reduction of generalized...
