We describe a method to align ASL video subtitles with a closed-caption transcript. Our alignments are partial, based on spotting words within the video sequence, which consists o...
In this paper we present a novel approach for inducing word alignments from sentence aligned data. We use a Conditional Random Field (CRF), a discriminative model, which is estima...
We employ Maximum Entropy model to conduct sub-tree alignment between bilingual phrasal structure trees. Various lexical and structural knowledge is explored to measure the syntac...
Word alignment is the problem of annotating parallel text with translational correspondence. Previous generative word alignment models have made structural assumptions such as the...
We show that the standard beam-search algorithm can be used as an efficient decoder for the global linear model of Zhang and Clark (2008) for joint word segmentation and POS-taggi...
