Cascaded Lexicalised Classifiers for Second-Person Reference Resolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the resolution of the second person English pronoun you in multi-party dialogue. Following previous work, we attempt to classify instances as generic or referential, and in the latter case identify the singular or plural addressee. We show that accuracy and robustness can be improved by use of simple lexical features, capturing the intuition that different uses and addressees are associated with different vocabularies; and we show that there is an advantage to treating referentiality and addressee identification as separate (but connected) problems.

The Use of Second-Person Reference in Advertisement Translation with Reference to Translation between Chinese and English
This research aimed to review the use of second-person reference in advertisement translation, work out the general rules, and provide guidance to translators. Using second-person reference is common in the advertising discourse. Addressing audiences directly involves their attention and in this way enhances their memorization of the advertised message. Second-person reference can be realized v...
متن کاملVision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detec...
متن کاملA Cascade of Feed-Forward Classifiers for Fast Pedestrian Detection
We develop a method that can detect humans in a single image based on a new cascaded structure. In our approach, both the rectangle features and 1-D edge-orientation features are employed in the feature pool for weak-learner selection, which can be computed via the integral-image and the integral-histogram techniques, respectively. To make the weak learner more discriminative, Real AdaBoost is ...
متن کاملTowards Holistic Scene Understanding: Feedback Enabled Cascaded Classification Models
In many machine learning domains (such as scene understanding), several related sub-tasks (such as scene categorization, depth estimation, object detection) operate on the same raw data and provide correlated outputs. Each of these tasks is often notoriously hard, and state-of-the-art classifiers already exist for many subtasks. It is desirable to have an algorithm that can capture such correla...
متن کاملAction Recognition with Cascaded Feature Selection and Classification
Much of the previous action recognition work focuses on action representation whilst using standard multi-class classifiers such as SVM and k-NN for action classification. We show that these standard classifiers are inadequate in addressing more challenging action recognition problems encountered in an unconstrained environment and propose a novel action classification approach based on cascade...
