Modern coreference resolution systems require linguistic and general knowledge typically sourced from costly, manually curated resources. Despite their intuitive appeal, results have been mixed. In this work, we instead implement fine-grained surface-level features motivated by cognitive theory. Our novel fine-grained feature specialisation approach significantly improves the performance of a s...

This article addresses how trust changes over time. We introduce a social psychology-based Information Processing Model (IPM) that explains how trust changes over time based on three cognitive mechanisms: attention, attribution, and judgment. This model is contrasted with the traditional incremental progression model of trust change. We also explain three extensions of the model. These models a...

The SENSEVAL-3 task to perform automatic labeling of semantic roles was designed to encourage research into and use of the FrameNet dataset. The task was based on the considerable expansion of the FrameNet data since the baseline study of automatic labeling of semantic roles by Gildea and Jurafsky. The FrameNet data provide an extensive body of “gold standard” data that can be used in lexical s...

Despite much success in many large-scale language tasks, sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models have not been an ideal choice for conversational modeling as they tend to generate generic and repetitive responses. In this paper, we propose a Latent Topic Conversational Model (LTCM) that augments the seq2seq model with a neural topic component to better model human-human conversations. The neural ...

Despite ample research, the structure and the functional characteristics of neural systems involved in human face processing are still a matter of active debate. Here we dissociated between a neural mechanism manifested by the face-sensitive N170 event-related potential effect and a mechanism manifested by induced electroencephalographic oscillations in the gamma band, which have been previousl...

The effect of alkyl substituents on the C-phenyl and/or the N-Phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. The predominant configuration in CHCl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the C-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the N-phenyl ring favor a trans c...
