We provide a review of the alignment literature in IT, addressing questions such as: What have we learned? What is disputed? Who are contributors to the debate? The article is int...
We present a simple yet powerful hierarchical search algorithm for automatic word alignment. Our algorithm induces a forest of alignments from which we can efficiently extract a r...
The study of non-sequential alignments, with different connectivity of the aligned fragments in the proteins being compared can offer a more complete picture of the structural, evo...
Syntactic machine translation systems currently use word alignments to infer syntactic correspondences between the source and target languages. Instead, we propose an unsupervised...
This paper studies transliteration alignment, its evaluation metrics and applications. We propose a new evaluation metric, alignment entropy, grounded on the information theory, t...
