Traditional word alignment approaches cannot come up with satisfactory results for Named Entities. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using a maximum entropy model for nam...
We observe that (1) how a given named entity (NE) is translated (i.e., either semantically or phonetically) depends greatly on its associated entity type, and (2) entities within ...
Most foreign names are transliterated into Chinese, Japanese or Korean with approximate phonetic equivalents. The transliteration is usually achieved through intermediate phonemic...
Named Entity recognition (NER) is an important part of many natural language processing tasks. Current approaches often employ machine learning techniques and require supervised d...
A new statistical method called "bilingual chunking" for structure alignment is proposed. Different with the existing approaches which align hierarchical structures like...
