We address the problem of improving the efficiency of natural language text input under degraded conditions (for instance, on mobile computing devices or by disabled users), by ta...
Translation systems are generally trained to optimize BLEU, but many alternative metrics are available. We explore how optimizing toward various automatic evaluation metrics (BLEU...

We present a critique of language-based modelling for text input research, and propose an alternative inputbased approach. Current language-based statistical models are derived fr...
The hierarchical Pitman-Yor process-based smoothing method applied to language model was proposed by Goldwater and by Teh; the performance of this smoothing method is shown compara...
Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) is a promising technology for enhancing the utility of spoken materials. After the spoken documents have been transcribed by using a Large Vocabula...
