Alignment combination (symmetrization) has been shown to be useful for improving Machine Translation (MT) models. Most existing alignment combination techniques are based on heuri...
We describe a novel approach to machine translation that combines the strengths of the two leading corpus-based approaches: Phrasal SMT and EBMT. We use a syntactically informed d...
Model M, a novel class-based exponential language model, has been shown to significantly outperform word n-gram models in state-of-the-art machine translation and speech recognit...
This work presents improvements of a large-scale Arabic to French statistical machine translation system over a period of three years. The development includes better preprocessin...
This paper focuses on an important step in the creation of a system of meaning representation and the development of semantically-annotated parallel corpora, for use in applicatio...
