Evaluating Wall Street Journal Survey Forecasters: A Multivariate Approach

Tectogrammatical Annotation of the Wall Street Journal

This paper gives an overview of the current state of the Prague English Dependency Treebank project. It is an updated version of a draft text that was released along with a CD presenting the first 25% of the PDT-like version of the Penn Treebank – WSJ section (PEDT 1.0). Before the January 2009 release, the conversion from the original phrase structure trees into dependency trees as well as the...

Experience In WordNet Sense Tagging In The Wall Street Journal

This paper reports on our experience hand tagging the senses of 25 of the most frequent verbs in 12,925 sentences of the Wall Street Journal Treebank corpus (Marcus et al. 1993). The verbs are tagged with respect to senses in WordNet (Miller 1990). Some of the annotated verbs can function as both main and auxiliary verbs, and some are often used in idioms. This paper suggests consistently repre...

Continuous Microphone Array Speech Recognition on Wall Street Journal Corpus

In this paper, we present a robust speech acquisition system to acquire continuous speech using a microphone array. A microphone array based speech recognition system is also presented to study the environmental interference due to reverberation, background noises and mismatch between the training and testing conditions. This is important in the context of smart meeting rooms of Augmented Multi...

Parsing the Wall Street Journal with the Inside-Outside Algorithm

We report grammar inference experiments on partially parsed sentences taken from the Wall Street Journal corpus using the inside-outside algorithm for stochastic context-free grammars. The initial grammar for the inference process makes no ,assumption of the kinds of structures and their distributions. The inferred grammar is evaluated by its predicting power and by comparing the bracketing of ...
