Most statistical machine translation systems employ a word-based alignment model. In this paper we demonstrate that word-based alignment is a major cause of translation errors. We...
State-of-the-art Machine Translation (MT) systems are still far from being perfect. An alternative is the so-called Interactive Machine Translation (IMT) framework. In this framew...
We use existing tools to automatically build two parallel treebanks from existing parallel corpora. We then show that combining the data extracted from both the treebanks and the ...
This paper presents a method for cross-language question answering. The method combines multiple query translations in order to improve the answering precision. The combination of ...
This paper presents a direct word reordering model with novel syntax-based features for statistical machine translation. Reordering models address the problem of reordering source...
