This paper proposes a new prosodic phrasing model for Chinese text-tospeech systems. First, in contrast to the commonly used CART techniques, we propose a new inductive learning a...
Tree-to-string translation rules are widely used in linguistically syntax-based statistical machine translation systems. In this paper, we propose to use deep syntactic informatio...
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...
Information retrieval is an important application area of natural-language processing where one encounters the genuine challenge of processing large quantities of unrestricted nat...
