Accurate Non-Hierarchical Phrase-Based Translation
A principal weakness of conventional (i.e., non-hierarchical) phrase-based statistical machine translation is that it can only exploit continuous phrases. In this paper, we extend...

Language and Translation Model Adaptation using Comparable Corpora
Traditionally, statistical machine translation systems have relied on parallel bi-lingual data to train a translation model. While bi-lingual parallel data are expensive to genera...

A Hybrid Morpheme-Word Representation for Machine Translation of Morphologically Rich Languages
We propose a language-independent approach for improving statistical machine translation for morphologically rich languages using a hybrid morpheme-word representation where the b...

Experiments in Cross-Language Morphological Annotation Transfer
Annotated corpora are valuable resources for NLP which are often costly to create. We introduce a method for transferring annotation from a morphologically annotated corpus of a so...

How well can we estimate a sparse vector?
The estimation of a sparse vector in the linear model is a fundamental problem in signal processing, statistics, and compressive sensing. This paper establishes a lower bound on t...
