A Comparative Study of Hypothesis Alignment and its Improvement for Machine Translation System Combination
Recently confusion network decoding shows the best performance in combining outputs from multiple machine translation (MT) systems. However, overcoming different word orders prese...

Joint Parsing and Alignment with Weakly Synchronized Grammars
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...

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...

Word Alignment with Synonym Regularization
We present a novel framework for word alignment that incorporates synonym knowledge collected from monolingual linguistic resources in a bilingual probabilistic model. Synonym inf...

Improving Statistical Machine Translation with Monolingual Collocation
This paper proposes to use monolingual collocations to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We make use of the collocation probabilities, which are estimated from monoli...

Hierarchical Search for Word Alignment
We present a simple yet powerful hierarchical search algorithm for automatic word alignment. Our algorithm induces a forest of alignments from which we can efficiently extract a r...

HMM-Based Word Alignment in Statistical Translation
In this paper, we describe a new model for word alignment in statistical translation and present experimental results. The idea of the model is to make the alignment probabilities...

Combining Clues for Word Alignment
In this paper, a word alignment approach is presented which is based on a combination of clues. Word alignment clues indicate associations between words and phrases. They can be b...

Improved Lexical Alignment by Combining Multiple Reified Alignments
We describe a word alignment platform which ensures text pre-processing (tokenization, POS-tagging, lemmatization, chunking, sentence alignment) as required by an accurate word al...
