This paper proposes a statistical, treeto-tree model for producing translations. Two main contributions are as follows: (1) a method for the extraction of syntactic structures wit...
I present a novel approach to the determination of recurrent sound correspondences in bilingual wordlists. The idea is to relate correspondences between sounds in wordlists to tra...
We present a method for improving word alignment for statistical syntax-based machine translation that employs a syntactically informed alignment model closer to the translation m...
We present a general framework to incorporate prior knowledge such as heuristics or linguistic features in statistical generative word alignment models. Prior knowledge plays a ro...
This paper presents a direct word reordering model with novel syntax-based features for statistical machine translation. Reordering models address the problem of reordering source...
