With the dramatic increase in the amount of content available in digital forms gives rise to a problem to manage this online textual data. As a result, it has become a necessary to classify large texts (documents) into specific classes.

We are presenting a new, hybrid alignment architecture for aligning bilingual, linguistically annotated parallel corpora. It is able to align simultaneously at paragraph, sentence, phrase and word level, using statistical and heuristic cues, along with linguistics-based rules. The system currently aligns English and German texts, and the linguistic annotation used covers POS-tags, lemmas and sy...

We present a hybrid natural language generation system that utilizes Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs) for statistically learning syntactic templates from a given domain of discourse in sentence “micro” planning. In particular, given a training corpus of target texts, we extract semantic predicates and domain general tags from each sentence and then organize the sentences using supervi...
