Instead of building a new recogniser, the authors add a re-ranking step after an existing one, the Let's Go parser. The re-ranker rescores the parser's hypotheses of the form DialogueActType(attribute-value… 2. **[One-Vs-Rest Neural Network English Grapheme Segmentation: A Linguistic Perspective](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rose-2024-one-vs-rest-neural-network/)** *(2024)* Most grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) systems treat each letter as a grapheme. Every letter is force-aligned either to a phoneme or to an empty placeholder. The authors argue this conflicts with linguistics, where a grapheme is the minimal written unit standing for a phoneme and can span up to four letters. They adopt… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Cluster-based Prediction of User Ratings for Stylistic Surface Realisation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/E14-1074/) Proceedings of the 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics · no summary yet**Nina Dethlefs et al.*2014 · 37 citations* 2. **[Conditional Random Fields for Responsive Surface Realisation using Global Features ↗](https://aclanthology.org/P13-1123/) Proceedings of the 51st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Nina Dethlefs et al.*2013 · 35 citations* 3. **[Understanding Slang with LLMs: Modelling Cross-Cultural Nuances through Paraphrasing ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.869/) Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Ifeoluwa Wuraola, Nina Dethlefs, Daniel Marciniak*2024 · 12 citations* 4. **[Impact of ASR N-Best Information on Bayesian Dialogue Act Recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cuayahuitl-2013-impact-asr-n-best-information/) [SIGDIAL Conference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/sigdial-conference/)**Heriberto Cuayáhuitl, Nina Dethlefs, Helen Hastie, et al.*2013 · 3 citations* 5. **[Comparing HMMs and Bayesian Networks for Surface Realisation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/N12-1081/) Proceedings of the 2012 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies · no summary yet**Nina Dethlefs, Heriberto Cuayáhuitl*2012 · 2 citations* 6. **[SLANG-GraphRAG: Multi-Layered Retrieval with Domain-Specific Knowledge for Low Resource Social Media Conversations ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-eacl.203/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EACL 2026 · no summary yet**Ifeoluwa Wuraola, Daniel Marciniak, Nina Dethlefs*2026* 7. **[One-Vs-Rest Neural Network English Grapheme Segmentation: A Linguistic Perspective](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rose-2024-one-vs-rest-neural-network/) [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/)**Samuel Rose, Nina Dethlefs, C.
