Resolving Ambiguity for Cross-Language Retrieval
Abstract One of the main hurdles to improved CLIR effectiveness is resolving ambiguity associated with translation. Availability of resources is also a problem. First we present a ...

Efficient Minimum Error Rate Training and Minimum Bayes-Risk Decoding for Translation Hypergraphs and Lattices
Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) and Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding are used in most current state-of-theart Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems. The algorithms wer...

Estimating Translation Probabilities from the Web for Structured Queries on CLIR
We present two methods for estimating replacement probabilities without using parallel corpora. The first method proposed exploits the possible translation probabilities latent in ...
