Current methods of using lexical features in machine translation have difficulty in scaling up to realistic MT tasks due to a prohibitively large number of parameters involved. In...
Alignment combination (symmetrization) has been shown to be useful for improving Machine Translation (MT) models. Most existing alignment combination techniques are based on heuri...
The tree sequence based translation model allows the violation of syntactic boundaries in a rule to capture non-syntactic phrases, where a tree sequence is a contiguous sequence o...
Training statistical models to detect nonnative sentences requires a large corpus of non-native writing samples, which is often not readily available. This paper examines the exte...
Efficiency is a prime concern in syntactic MT decoding, yet significant developments in statistical parsing with respect to asymptotic efficiency haven't yet been explored in...
