This paper proposes to use monolingual collocations to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We make use of the collocation probabilities, which are estimated from monoli...
We describe an approach to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) performance using multi-lingual, parallel, sentence-aligned corpora in several bridge languages. Our appro...
Statistical bilingual word alignment has been well studied in the context of machine translation. This paper adapts the bilingual word alignment algorithm to monolingual scenario ...
For many years, statistical machine translation relied on generative models to provide bilingual word alignments. In 2005, several independent efforts showed that discriminative m...
This paper presents a method for word alignment that uses parallel phrases from manually word aligned sentence pairs to align words in new texts. Experiments on an English
