ParCor 1.0: A Parallel Pronoun-Coreference Corpus to Support Statistical MT

no code implementations LREC 2014 Liane Guillou, Christian Hardmeier, Aaron Smith, J{\"o}rg Tiedemann, Bonnie Webber

We present ParCor, a parallel corpus of texts in which pronoun coreference ― reduced coreference in which pronouns are used as referring expressions ― has been annotated.

Parser Training with Heterogeneous Treebanks

1 code implementation ACL 2018 Sara Stymne, Miryam de Lhoneux, Aaron Smith, Joakim Nivre

How to make the most of multiple heterogeneous treebanks when training a monolingual dependency parser is an open question.

Open-Ended Question Answering

Does Hamiltonian Monte Carlo mix faster than a random walk on multimodal densities?

1 code implementation9 Aug 2018 Oren Mangoubi, Natesh S. Pillai, Aaron Smith

In this paper, we investigate a different scaling question: does HMC beat RWM for highly $\textit{multimodal}$ targets?

An Investigation of the Interactions Between Pre-Trained Word Embeddings, Character Models and POS Tags in Dependency Parsing

no code implementations EMNLP 2018 Aaron Smith, Miryam de Lhoneux, Sara Stymne, Joakim Nivre

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between pre-trained word embeddings, character models and POS tags in a transition-based dependency parser.

Importance is Important: A Guide to Informed Importance Tempering Methods

no code implementations13 Apr 2023 Guanxun Li, Aaron Smith, Quan Zhou

Informed importance tempering (IIT) is an easy-to-implement MCMC algorithm that can be seen as an extension of the familiar Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with the special feature that informed proposals are always accepted, and which was shown in Zhou and Smith (2022) to converge much more quickly in some common circumstances.

On Cyclical MCMC Sampling

no code implementations1 Mar 2024 LiWei Wang, Xinru Liu, Aaron Smith, Yves Atchade

Cyclical MCMC is a novel MCMC framework recently proposed by Zhang et al. (2019) to address the challenge posed by high-dimensional multimodal posterior distributions like those arising in deep learning.
