Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
We describe Akamon, an open source toolkit for tree and forest-based statistical machine translation (Liu et al., 2006; Mi et al., 2008; Mi and Huang, 2008). Akamon implements all...
This paper introduces a general framework for the use of translation probabilities in cross-language information retrieval based on the notion that information retrieval fundament...
Although many spatio-temporal conceptual models has been proposed in the last years, users must express their queries on the underlying physical data structures. In the context of ...
Phrase-based decoding produces state-of-theart translations with no regard for syntax. We add syntax to this process with a cohesion constraint based on a dependency tree for the ...
