Statistical machine translation (SMT) systems for spoken languages suffer from conversational speech phenomena, in particular, the presence of speech dis uencies. We examine the i...
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...
Alignment combination (symmetrization) has been shown to be useful for improving Machine Translation (MT) models. Most existing alignment combination techniques are based on heuri...
Abstract: Some surfaces, like metallic and varnished ones, can only be properly controlled, if they are inspected under different illumination directions. This requires a three-dim...
We present an implementation and evaluation of atomicity (also known as software transactions) for a dialect of Java. Our implementation is fundamentally different from prior work...
