Bayesian approaches have been shown to reduce the amount of overfitting that occurs when running the EM algorithm, by placing prior probabilities on the model parameters. We appl...
We describe a method to align ASL video subtitles with a closed-caption transcript. Our alignments are partial, based on spotting words within the video sequence, which consists o...
This paper investigates the combination of word-alignments computed with the competitive linking algorithm and well-established IBM models. New training methods for phrase-based st...
Parallel corpora are critical resources for machine translation research and development since parallel corpora contain translation equivalences of various granularities. Manual a...
