A new approach to handle unknown words in machine translation is presented. The basic idea is to find definitions for the unknown words on the source language side and translate t...
Untranslated words still constitute a major problem for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), and current SMT systems are limited by the quantity of parallel training texts. Augm...
In this paper I describe how a significant class of cases that would involve (possibly complex) structural transfer in nmchine translation can be handled avoiding transfer. This i...
We apply statistical machine translation (SMT) tools to generate novel paraphrases of input sentences in the same language. The system is trained on large volumes of sentence pair...
