Combining Unsupervised and Supervised Alignments for MT: An Empirical Study
Word alignment plays a central role in statistical MT (SMT) since almost all SMT systems extract translation rules from word aligned parallel training data. While most SMT systems...

What a Parser Can Learn from a Semantic Role Labeler and Vice Versa
In many NLP systems, there is a unidirectional flow of information in which a parser supplies input to a semantic role labeler. In this paper, we build a system that allows inform...
