Active learning involves selecting unlabeled data items to label in order to best improve an existing classifier. In most applications, batch mode active learning, where a set of items is picked all at once to be labeled and then used to re-train the classifier, is most feasible because it does not require the model to be re-trained after each individual selection and makes most efficient use o...

We develop techniques for learning the meanings of unknown words in context. Working within a com-positional semantics framework, we write down equations in which a sentence's meaning is some combination function of the meaning of its words. When one of the words is unknown, we ask for a paraphrase of the sentence. We then compute the meaning of the unknown word by inverting parts of the semant...
