We address the problem of simplifying Portuguese texts at the sentence level treating it as a "translation task". We use the Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) framewo...
We propose several techniques for improving statistical machine translation between closely-related languages with scarce resources. We use character-level translation trained on ...
In this paper, several approaches for language portability of dialogue systems are investigated with a focus on the spoken language understanding (SLU) component. We show that the...
This paper proposes a novel lexicalized approach for rule selection for syntax-based statistical machine translation (SMT). We build maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models which combine ...
We present a syntax-based statistical translation model. Our model transforms a source-language parse tree into a target-language string by applying stochastic operations at each ...
