Investigating the Contribution of Distributional Semantic Information for Dialogue Act Classification
This paper presents a series of experiments in applying compositional distributional semantic models to dialogue act classification. In contrast to the widely used bag-ofwords approach, we build the meaning of an utterance from its parts by composing the distributional word vectors using vector addition and multiplicat...

Building an Evaluation Corpus for German Question Answering by Harvesting Wikipedia
The growing interest in open-domain question answering is limited by the lack of evaluation and training resources. To overcome this resource bottleneck for German, we propose a novel methodology to acquire new question-answer pairs for system evaluation that relies on volunteer collaboration over the Internet. Utilizi...

The need for associating, or grounding, protein names in the literature with the entries of proteome databases such as Swiss-Prot is well-recognized. The protein names in the biomedical literature show a high degree of morphological and syntactic variations, and various anaphoric expressions including null anaphors. We...

An Annotation Scheme for Information Status in Dialogue
We present an annotation scheme for information status (IS) in dialogue, and validate it on three Switchboard dialogues. We show that our scheme has good reproducibility, and compare it with previous attempts to code IS and related features. We eventually apply the scheme to 147 dialogues, thus producing a corpus that ...

Inducing Crosslingual Distributed Representations of Words
Distributed representations of words have proven extremely useful in numerous natural language processing tasks. Their appeal is that they can help alleviate data sparsity problems common to supervised learning. Methods for inducing these representations require only unlabeled language data, which are plentiful for man...

This context is, however, often ignored. Where methods do make use of context, only small amounts are considered, making it difficult to scale. We present a ...

Measuring Language Development in Early Childhood Education: A Case Study of Grammar Checking in Child Language Transcripts
Language sample analysis is an important technique used in measuring language development. At present, measures of grammatical complexity such as the Index of Productive Syntax (Scarborough, 1990) are used to measure language development in early childhood. Although these measures depict the overall competence in the u...

In this paper, we show the benefits of varying acoustic states a...
