We address the problem of simplifying Portuguese texts at the sentence level treating it as a "translation task". We use the Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) framewo...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
We present a machine translation framework that can incorporate arbitrary features of both input and output sentences. The core of the approach is a novel decoder based on lattice...
Abstract. Prosody has been actively studied as an important knowledge source for speech recognition and understanding. In this paper, we are concerned with the question of exploiti...
