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...
Phrasal segmentation models define a mapping from the words of a sentence to sequences of translatable phrases. We discuss the estimation of these models from large quantities of ...
We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
We present a quasi-synchronous dependency grammar (Smith and Eisner, 2006) for machine translation in which the leaves of the tree are phrases rather than words as in previous wor...
This paper proposes new algorithms to compute the sense similarity between two units (words, phrases, rules, etc.) from parallel corpora. The sense similarity scores are computed ...
