My Projects
CCG2PTB Converter
https://sourceforge.net/p/ccg2ptb/home/Home/
This tool can convert CCG derivations to PTB trees using Max Entropy model implemented by OpenNLP, as well as visualizing the tree graphs. The main technical innovation presented here is the effective conversion method which achieves a F score over 96%.
Unsupervised Data Oriented Phrase Parser
http://sourceforge.net/projects/udop/
The implementation of the UDOP based on (Rens Bod, 2006). It includes a n-best CYK paser based on the algorithm in (Víctor M. Jiménez and Andrés Marzal, 2000).
Tree to Tree Convertion Based on Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar
A implementation of Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar based on (Takuya Matsuzaki and Jun’ichi Tsujii, 2008) .
Undergraduate PRP Program: Research on Better Search Interface
In this team-work project, we tried to carry out some nice ideas on improving search interface to provide better user experience. We adopted mainly three features, categorizing the returned results, ranking the key words in the query, and visualizing the search results.
Electronical Virtual Phone Pet
In this team-work project, we developped an electronical virtual phone pet. The monkey can eat, sleep, do sports and so on. It has attributes such as age, intelligence, weight, etc. These attributes will change according to the monkey's actions.
