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...

Semi-Supervised Learning for Semantic Parsing using Support Vector Machines
We present a method for utilizing unannotated sentences to improve a semantic parser which maps natural language (NL) sentences into their formal meaning representations (MRs). Gi...
