Latent-Variable Modeling of String Transductions with Finite-State Methods
String-to-string transduction is a central problem in computational linguistics and natural language processing. It occurs in tasks as diverse as name transliteration, spelling co...

Automatic Acquisition of Hierarchical Transduction Models for Machine Translation
We describe a method for the fully automatic learning of hierarchical finite state translation models. The input to the method is transcribed speech utterances and their correspon...

Integrating Joint n-gram Features into a Discriminative Training Framework
Phonetic string transduction problems, such as letter-to-phoneme conversion and name transliteration, have recently received much attention in the NLP community. In the past few y...

Head Automata and Bilingual Tiling: Translation with Minimal Representations
We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...

Graphical Models over Multiple Strings
We study graphical modeling in the case of stringvalued random variables. Whereas a weighted finite-state transducer can model the probabilistic relationship between two strings, ...
