A Chunk-Driven Bootstrapping Approach to Extracting Translation Patterns
Abstract. We present a linguistically-motivated sub-sentential alignment system that extends the intersected IBM Model 4 word alignments. The alignment system is chunk-driven and r...

Word Alignment with Stochastic Bracketing Linear Inversion Transduction Grammar
The class of Linear Inversion Transduction Grammars (LITGs) is introduced, and used to induce a word alignment over a parallel corpus. We show that alignment via Stochastic Bracke...
