Any large language processing software relies in its operation on heuristic decisions concerning the strategy of processing. These decisions are usually "hard-wired" int...
In this paper we compare and contrast two approaches to Machine Translation (MT): the CMU-UKA Syntax Augmented Machine Translation system (SAMT) and UPC-TALP N-gram-based Statisti...
Abstract. We propose a lexicalized syntactic reordering framework for crosslanguage word aligning and translating researches. In this framework, we first flatten hierarchical sourc...
In this paper, we provide a study on the use of tree kernels to encode syntactic parsing information in natural language learning. In particular, we propose a new convolution kerne...
Multi-processor systems are becoming more commonplace and affordable. Based on analyses of actual parsings, we argue that to exploit the capabilities of such machines, unification...
