This paper proposes to use monolingual collocations to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We make use of the collocation probabilities, which are estimated from monoli...
In statistical machine translation, single-word based models have an important deficiency; they do not take contextual information into account for the translation decision. A poss...
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for identifying each word with its translations in a sentence and translation pair. Previously proposed methods require enormous amounts of ...
Abstract. An adaptable statistical or hybrid MT system relies heavily on the quality of word-level alignments of real-world data. Statistical alignment approaches provide a reasona...
Abstract. German compound words pose special problems to statistical machine translation systems: the occurence of each of the components in the training data is not sufficient for...
