Mimicking Word Embeddings using Subword RNNs
Yuval Pinter, Robert Guthrie, Jacob Eisenstein
Word embeddings improve generalization over lexical features by placing each word in a lower-dimensional space, using distributional information obtained from unlabeled data. Howev…
Shallow Discourse Parsing Using Distributed Argument Representations and Bayesian Optimization
Akanksha, Jacob Eisenstein
This paper describes the Georgia Tech team's approach to the CoNLL-2016 supplementary evaluation on discourse relation sense classification. We use long short-term memories (LSTM)…
A Latent Variable Recurrent Neural Network for Discourse Relation Language Models
Yangfeng Ji, Gholamreza Haffari, Jacob Eisenstein
This paper presents a novel latent variable recurrent neural network architecture for jointly modeling sequences of words and (possibly latent) discourse relations between adjacent…
Part-of-Speech Tagging for Historical English
Yi Yang, Jacob Eisenstein
As more historical texts are digitized, there is interest in applying natural language processing tools to these archives. However, the performance of these tools is often unsatisf…
