Natural Language Document And Event Association Using Stochastic Petri Net Modeling, Michael Thomas Mills

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research is to design and implement a new methodology that captures the natural language understanding of events from English natural language text and model it using Stochastic Petri Nets. To establish a baseline of recent natural language processing (NLP) and understanding (NLU) research, two surveys are presented. One is a general survey in NLP and NLU methodologies for processing multi-documents. It summarizes and presents methodologies in terms of their features, capabilities, and maturity. The second survey focuses on graph-based methods for NL text processing and understanding and analyzes them in terms of their functional descriptions, capabilities …


A Latent Dirichlet Allocation/N-Gram Composite Language Model, Raymond Daniel Kulhanek Jan 2013

A Latent Dirichlet Allocation/N-Gram Composite Language Model, Raymond Daniel Kulhanek

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

I present a composite language model in which an n-gram language model is integrated with the Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic clustering model. I also describe a parallel architecture that allows this model to be trained over large corpora and present experimental results that show how the composite model compares to a standard n-gram model over corpora of varying size.
