Abstract One of the main hurdles to improved CLIR effectiveness is resolving ambiguity associated with translation. Availability of resources is also a problem. First we present a ...
We present two methods for estimating replacement probabilities without using parallel corpora. The first method proposed exploits the possible translation probabilities latent in ...
For many years, statistical machine translation relied on generative models to provide bilingual word alignments. In 2005, several independent efforts showed that discriminative m...
This paper presents an effective approach to discard most entries of the rule table for statistical machine translation. The rule table is filtered by monolingual key phrases, whi...
Current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems are trained on sentencealigned and word-aligned parallel text collected from various sources. Translation model parameters ar...
