Sluice Resolution without Hand-Crafted Features over Brittle Syntax Trees
Sluice resolution in English is the problem of finding antecedents of \textit{wh}-fronted ellipses. Previous work has relied on hand-crafted features over syntax trees that scale poorly to other languages and domains; in particular, to dialogue, which is one of the most interesting applications of sluice resolution. Syntactic information is arguably important for sluice resolution, but we show that multi-task learning with partial parsing as auxiliary tasks effectively closes the gap and buys us an additional 9{\%} error reduction over previous work. Since we are not directly relying on features from partial parsers, our system is more robust to domain shifts, giving a 26{\%} error reduction on embedded sluices in dialogue.

Is Sluice Resolution really just Question Answering?
Sluice resolution is a problem where a system needs to output the corresponding antecedents of wh-ellipses. The antecedents are elided contents behind the wh-words but are implicitly referred to using contexts. Previous …
Question AnsweringWhat Do You Mean `Why?': Resolving Sluices in Conversations
In conversation, we often ask one-word questions such as `Why?' or `Who?'. Such questions are typically easy for humans to answer, but can be hard for computers, because their resolution requires retrieving both the righ…
Hybrid Channel Based Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian detection has achieved great improvements with the help of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNN can learn high-level features from input images, but the insufficient spatial resolution of CNN feature chan…
Pedestrian DetectionRaw Multi-Channel Audio Source Separation using Multi-Resolution Convolutional Auto-Encoders
Supervised multi-channel audio source separation requires extracting useful spectral, temporal, and spatial features from the mixed signals. The success of many existing systems is therefore largely dependent on the choi…
Audio Source SeparationTarget Word Masking for Location Metonymy Resolution
Existing metonymy resolution approaches rely on features extracted from external resources like dictionaries and hand-crafted lexical resources. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end word-level classification approach …
