Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation Based on Rate of Accomplishment of Sub-Goals
The quality of a sentence translated by a machine translation (MT) system is difficult to evaluate. We propose a method for automatically evaluating the quality of each translati...

Kernel Regression Based Machine Translation
We present a novel machine translation framework based on kernel regression techniques. In our model, the translation task is viewed as a string-to-string mapping, for which a reg...

An Information Retrieval Approach to Sense Ranking
In word sense disambiguation, choosing the most frequent sense for an ambiguous word is a powerful heuristic. However, its usefulness is restricted by the availability of sense-an...

Analysis of Morph-Based Speech Recognition and the Modeling of Out-of-Vocabulary Words Across Languages
We analyze subword-based language models (LMs) in large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition across four “morphologically rich” languages: Finnish, Estonian, Turkish, and ...

Chinese Named Entity Recognition with Cascaded Hybrid Model
We propose a high-performance cascaded hybrid model for Chinese NER. Firstly, we use Boosting, a standard and theoretically wellfounded machine learning method to combine a set of...

Using Wikipedia for Automatic Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper describes a method for generating sense-tagged data using Wikipedia as a source of sense annotations. Through word sense disambiguation experiments, we show that the Wi...
