Soft Syntactic Constraints for Word Alignment through Discriminative Training
Word alignment methods can gain valuable guidance by ensuring that their alignments maintain cohesion with respect to the phrases specified by a monolingual dependency tree. Howev...

Word Alignment via Submodular Maximization over Matroids
We cast the word alignment problem as maximizing a submodular function under matroid constraints. Our framework is able to express complex interactions between alignment component...

Better Word Alignments with Supervised ITG Models
This work investigates supervised word alignment methods that exploit inversion transduction grammar (ITG) constraints. We consider maximum margin and conditional likelihood objec...
