 David Yarowsky's CLiFF Abstract
I have applied this algorithm to a set of varied but fundamentally similar problems: word sense disambiguation, lexical choice in machine translation, homograph disambiguation in speech synthesis, capitalization restoration, and accent restoration in languages such as Spanish and French [8] [10] [11] [12] [14].
We applied similar techniques to the problem of authorship identification and used this approach in conjunction with the EM algorithm to label proper names in text as person or place [6].
I independently proposed and developed a class-based approach to sense disambiguation [9] using statistical models of the typical context of words in Roget's thesaurus classes such as ANIMALS or MACHINERY.
