The first is finding hedge cues, words or phrases that signal speculation. The second is finding the span of text each cue governs. The authors treat both as sequence labeling with CRFs, building on Morante and Daelemans (2009). ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jianfeng Gao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianfeng-gao/) ×2 - [Yizhe Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yizhe-zhang/) ×2 - [Baolin Peng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/baolin-peng/) - [Bill Dolan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bill-dolan/) - [Chris Brockett](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chris-brockett/) - [Chunyuan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chunyuan-li/) - [Jingjing Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingjing-liu/) - [Michel Galley](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michel-galley/) - [Siqi Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/siqi-sun/) - [Xiujun Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiujun-li/) - [Xuan Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuan-wang/) - [Yen-Chun Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yen-chun-chen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning…](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/): [2010](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/2010/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language…](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2020/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 678 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [66 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiang-gao/cited-by/).
