Current methods of using lexical features in machine translation have difficulty in scaling up to realistic MT tasks due to a prohibitively large number of parameters involved. In...
Translation of proper names is generally recognized as a significant problem in many multi-lingual text and speech processing applications. Even when large bilingual lexicons use...
Large amounts of low- to medium-quality English texts are now being produced by machine translation (MT) systems, optical character readers (OCR), and non-native speakers of Engli...
We present a discriminative substring decoder for transliteration. This decoder extends recent approaches for discriminative character transduction by allowing for a list of known...
Free on-line machine translation systems are employed more and more by Internet users. In this paper we have explored the use of these systems for Cross-Language Question Answering...
