Weighted Alignment Matrices for Statistical Machine Translation
Current statistical machine translation systems usually extract rules from bilingual corpora annotated with 1-best alignments. They are prone to learn noisy rules due to alignment...

Better Word Alignments with Supervised ITG Models
This work investigates supervised word alignment methods that exploit inversion transduction grammar (ITG) constraints. We consider maximum margin and conditional likelihood objec...

BiTAM: Bilingual Topic AdMixture Models for Word Alignment
We propose a novel bilingual topical admixture (BiTAM) formalism for word alignment in statistical machine translation. Under this formalism, the parallel sentence-pairs within a ...

Applying Many-to-Many Alignments and Hidden Markov Models to Letter-to-Phoneme Conversion
Letter-to-phoneme conversion generally requires aligned training data of letters and phonemes. Typically, the alignments are limited to one-to-one alignments. We present a novel t...
