Regression on manifolds using kernel dimension reduction (2007)

Jens Nilsson, Fei Sha

We study the problem of discovering a manifold that best preserves information relevant to a nonlinear regression. Solving this problem involves extending and uniting two threads of research. On the...

Generalizing Tree Transformations for Inductive Dependency Parsing (2007)

Jens Nilsson, Joakim Nivre, Johan Hall

Previous studies in data-driven dependency parsing have shown that tree transformations can improve parsing accuracy for specific parsers and data sets. We investigate to what extent this can be...

Single Malt or Blended? A study in Multilingual Parser Optimization (2007)

Johan Hall, Jens Nilsson, Joakim Nivre, Beáta Megyesi, Mattias Nilsson, Markus Saers

We describe a two-stage optimization of the MaltParser system for the ten languages in the multilingual track of the CoNLL 2007 shared task on dependency parsing. The first stage consists in tuning a...

Converting Dependency Treebanks to MALT-XML (2006)

Hall, Johan, Nilsson, Jens

In data-driven approaches to natural language processing, a common problem is the lack of data for many languages. Within the project Stochastic Dependency Grammars for Natural Language Parsing at...

Reconstruction of the Swedish Treebank Talbanken. (2006)

Nilsson, Jens, Hall, Johan

Data-driven parsing techniques have a number of advantages over rule-based parsing techniques, such as fast development time, broad-coverage and robustness. Treebanks, collections of syntactically...

Managing Attention Budgets in a Project-Based Organisation : A Project Communication Framework (2006)

Börjesson, Frida, Nilsson, Jens

Background: The knowledge-based theory proposes that knowledge and how it is managed is an important factor for determining the competitiveness of corporations. Project-based organisations are often...
