Active Learning for Part-of-Speech Tagging: Accelerating Corpus Annotation (2009)
Eric Ringger, Peter Mcclanahan, Robbie Haertel, George Busby, Marc Carmen, James Carroll, ...
In the construction of a part-of-speech annotated corpus, we are constrained by a fixed budget. A fully annotated corpus is required, but we can afford to label only a subset. We train a Maximum...
The adaptation of a machine-learned sentence realization system to (2008)
Martine Smets, Michael Gamon, Simon Corston-oliver, Eric Ringger
We describe the adaptation to French of a machine-learned sentence realization system called Amalgam that was originally developed to be as language independent as possible and was first implemented...
French Amalgam: A machine-learned sentence realization system (2008)
Martine Smets, Michael Gamon, Simon Corston-oliver, Eric Ringger, Résumé Abstract
Cette communication présente la version pour le français d’Amalgam, un système de réalisation automatique de phrases. Deux des modèles du système sont décrits en détail, et nous expliquons...
Converting Treebank Annotations to Language Neutral Syntax (2008)
Richard Campbell, Eric Ringger
We describe the automatic conversion of English Penn Treebank (PTB) annotations into Language Neutral Syntax (LNS) (Campbell and Suzuki, 2002a,b). In this paper, we describe LNS and why it is useful,...

We describe the adaptation to French of a machine-learned sentence realization system called Amalgam that was originally developed to be as language independent as possible and was first implemented...
Multilingual dependency parsing using bayes’ point machines (2006)
Simon Corston-oliver, Anthony Aue, Kevin Duh, Eric Ringger
We develop dependency parsers for Arabic, English, Chinese, and Czech using Bayes Point Machines, a training algorithm which is as easy to implement as the perceptron yet competitive with large...
Pulse: Mining Customer Opinions from Free Text (2005)
Michael Gamon, Anthony Aue, Simon Corston-oliver, Eric Ringger
Abstract. We present a prototype system, code-named Pulse, for mining topics and sentiment orientation jointly from free text customer feedback. We describe the application of the prototype system to...
Integration of Email and Task Lists (2004)
Eric Ringger, Michael Gamon, Richard Campbell
Could you please remote desktop in and try running it on my machine. SmartMail segments an email message into header, message body (containing the new message content), and forwarded sections and...
Statistical Machine Translation Using Labeled Semantic Dependency Graphs (2004)
Anthony Aue, Arul Menezes, Bob Moore, Chris Quirk, Eric Ringger
We present a series of models for doing statistical machine translation based on labeled semantic dependency graphs. We describe how these models were employed to augment an existing example-based MT...
An overview of Amalgam: A machine-learned generation module (2002)
Simon Corston-oliver, Michael Gamon, Eric Ringger, Robert Moore
We present an overview of Amalgam, a sentence realization module that combines machine-learned and knowledgeengineered components to produce natural language sentences from logical form inputs. We...
Machine-learned contexts for linguistic operations in German sentence realization (2002)
Michael Gamon, Eric Ringger, Simon Corston-oliver, Robert Moore
We show that it is possible to learn the contexts for linguistic operations which map a semantic representation to a surface syntactic tree in sentence realization with high accuracy. We cast the...
Intra-sentence punctuation insertion in natural language generation (2002)
Zhu Zhang, Zhu Zhang, Michael Gamon, Michael Gamon, Simon Corston-oliver, Simon Corston-oliver, ...
We describe a punctuation insertion model used in the sentence realization module of a natural language generation system for English and German. The model is based on a decision tree classifier that...
Extraposition: A case study in German sentence realization (2002)
Michael Gamon, Eric Ringger, Zhu Zhang
We profile the occurrence of clausal extraposition in corpora from different domains and demonstrate that extraposition is a pervasive phenomenon in German that must be addressed in German sentence...

Rapid Language Model Development for New Task Domains (1998)
Lucian Galescu, Eric Ringger, James Allen
Data sparseness has been regularly indicted as the primary problem in statistical language modelling. We go one step further to consider the situation when no text data is available for the target...
A Fertility Channel Model For Post-Correction Of Continuous Speech Recognition
We have implemented a post-processor called SPEECHPP to correct word-level errors committed by an arbitrary speech recognizer. Applying a noisy-channelmodel, SPEECHPP uses a Viterbi beam-search that...
