Translation-based N-gram Prediction• {e1, e2, …em, f1, f2 …fn}1.predict the possible translations (Och and Ney, 2003)
bilingual phrase alignments
2. disambiguous (correct the alignment error)
ex. ...on ways to identify tackle 洗錢 money laundering money His forum entitled money laundry
4
Paraphrase Suggestion• {e1, e2,…ek}• pivot-based method proposed by Bannard
and Callison-Burch (2005).
5
Experiment• Training data: Hong Kong Parallel Text (2,220,570 Chinese-English sentence pairs)
• 10 Chinese sentences• two students to translate the Chinese
sentences to English sentences using FLOW
6
Result
7
•Paraphrase performance well•N-gram tends to produce shorter phrases

Sentence Retrieval • Limited information
• Application:• document summarization• question answering• novelty detection
9
Term Dependence• Query:{Everest, highest , mountain}• Q ={TS1, TS2, …, TSn}• Term combinations:{Everest highest,
highest mountain, Everest mountain}• further evaluated in each retrieved
sentence• Ex. Everest is the highest mountain
10
MINIPAR• a dependency parser• Ex. Everest is the highest mountain• :{Everest highest, highest mountain,
Everest mountain}

AS(TS1, S1)= 0.5^(1/3)*0.5^2=0.1984AS(TS2, S2)= 0.5^(1/2)*0.5^1=0.35355
• Dependency distance tend to small set pairs

Experiments• Testing data: TREC novelty track 2003 and
2004• Average precision of each different retrieval

Parallel Corpora• Monolingual
• Bilingual (German-English)
17
Bilingual Parallel Corpora• much more commonly available resource• one language can be identified using a
phrase in another language as a pivot.
18
German is pivot, use it to find English phrase
Paraphrases• Application multidocument summarization machine translation question answering
19
Aligning phrase pairs• statistical machine translation• phrase alignment• Och and Ney(2003)

Assigning probabilities

: original English phrase
: candidate English phrase
: foreign language phrase
Experimental Design1• 46 English phrases (occurred multiple times in the first 50,000 sentences)
• Corpus:
German-English section of the Europarl corpus (1,036,000 German-English sentence pairs)
• Manually aligned• 289 evaluation sets (each contain 2~10)
• Judgment: (meaning and grammar)
two native English speakers• Precision: 0.605

Experimental Design2• evaluated the accuracy of top ranked
paraphrases• conditions 1. manual alignments 2. automatic alignments 3. automatic alignments & multiple corpora in different languages (French-English, Spanish-English, Italian-
English) (4,000,000 sentence pairs)
4. re-ranking 5. limited to the same sense

Visual Instance Transformation• text-based image search (Top 50)• affinity propagation (AP) clustering
algorithm
• sort the obtained centers in a descending order of their groups sizes

• snoopy

Visual Instance
Side view
Front view
Spatial Intention Estimation• position• influence scope• Use 2D Gaussian distribution
34
Layout Sensitive Relevance Evaluation• Sum up the relevance score for each
concept• Appearance consistency -the count of common visual words
• Spatial consistency -desired spatial distribution of the concept k
-spatial distribution of visual instance v in the image

Visual Results (2)
User Study• participants : 20 college students
• To the question “have you ever had any image search intention concerning the concept layout?”
• 20% of respondents replied with “yes” and 50% of respondents replied with “no, but probably in
the future”.

Feature
41
a more accurate modeling of the dependencies between the query terms Query concepts n-grams, term proximities, noun phrases, named entities
verbose natural language queries (grammatical complexity)
42
Example
Provide information on the use of dogs worldwide for law enforcement purposes.
sequential dependence model (dog, “law enforcement”) (information, “law enforcement”)
43
Hypergraph structure
Query: “ international art crime “
