Word representations induced from models with discrete latent variables (e.g.\ HMMs) have been shown to be beneficial in many NLP applications. In this work, we exploit labeled syntactic dependency trees and formalize the induction problem…

Inflection graphs are highly complex networks representing relationships between inflectional forms of words in human languages. For so-called synthetic languages, such as Latin or Polish, they have particularly interesting structure due to…

In this paper, we introduce a novel natural language generation task, termed as text morphing, which targets at generating the intermediate sentences that are fluency and smooth with the two input sentences. We propose the Morphing Networks…

One central mystery of neural NLP is what neural models "know" about their subject matter. When a neural machine translation system learns to translate from one language to another, does it learn the syntax or semantics of the languages?…

Morphologically rich languages pose difficulties to machine translation. Machine translation engines that rely on statistical learning from parallel training data, such as state-of-the-art neural systems, face challenges especially with…

We present a semi-supervised way of training a character-based encoder-decoder recurrent neural network for morphological reinflection, the task of generating one inflected word form from another. This is achieved by using unlabeled tokens…
