The paper presents a statistical approach to automatic building of translation lexicons from parallel corpora. We briefly describe the pre-processing steps, a baseline iterative m...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
