Extant Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems are very complex softwares, which embed multiple layers of heuristics and embark very large numbers of numerical parameters. A...
We report on investigations into hierarchical phrase-based translation grammars based on rules extracted from posterior distributions over alignments of the parallel text. Rather ...
Minimum error rate training (MERT) involves choosing parameter values for a machine translation (MT) system that maximize performance on a tuning set as measured by an automatic e...
In this paper we present a noun phrase coreference resolution system which aims to enhance the identification of the coreference realized by string matching. For this purpose, we ...
