This paper compares different bilexical tree-based models for bilingual alignment. EM training for the new model benefits from the dynamic programming "hook trick". The ...
Syntactic machine translation systems extract rules from bilingual, word-aligned, syntactically parsed text, but current systems for parsing and word alignment are at best cascade...
We describe our experiments with training algorithms for tree-to-tree synchronous tree-substitution grammar (STSG) for monolingual translation tasks such as sentence compression a...
We connect two scenarios in structured learning: adapting a parser trained on one corpus to another annotation style, and projecting syntactic annotations from one language to ano...
Tree based translation models are a compelling means of integrating linguistic information into machine translation. Syntax can inform lexical selection and reordering choices and...
