This work is concerned with the space of alignments searched by word alignment systems. We focus on situations where word re-ordering is limited by syntax. We present two new alig...
We present a novel method to improve word alignment quality and eventually the translation performance by producing and combining complementary word alignments for low-resource la...

We present a method for improving word alignment for statistical syntax-based machine translation that employs a syntactically informed alignment model closer to the translation m...
