A New Statistical Parser Based on Bigram Lexical Dependencies (1996)
This paper describes a new statistical parser which is based on probabilities of dependencies between head-words in the parse tree. Standard bigram probability estimation techniques are extended to...
Prepositional Phrase Attachment through a Backed-Off Model (1995)
Collins, Michael, Brooks, James
Recent work has considered corpus-based or statistical approaches to the problem of prepositional phrase attachment ambiguity. Typically, ambiguous verb phrases of the form {v np1 p np2} are resolved...
VDT screen reflections and accommodation response (1994)
Collins, Michael, Davis, Brett, Atchison, David
Reflections in computer screens are imaged behind the screen and therefore potentially create a conflicting cue to appropriate accommodation response to the plane of screen. We investigated the...
