For many years, statistical machine translation relied on generative models to provide bilingual word alignments. In 2005, several independent efforts showed that discriminative m...
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...
Long distance word reordering is a major challenge in statistical machine translation research. Previous work has shown using source syntactic trees is an effective way to tackle ...
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...
