Hierarchical phrase-based translation model has been proven to be a simple and powerful machine translation model. However, due to the computational complexity constraints, the ext...
We propose a simple training regime that can improve the extrinsic performance of a parser, given only a corpus of sentences and a way to automatically evaluate the extrinsic qual...

Plagiarism, the unacknowledged reuse of text, does not end at language boundaries. Cross-language plagiarism occurs if a text is translated from a fragment written in a different ...
In this paper, several approaches for language portability of dialogue systems are investigated with a focus on the spoken language understanding (SLU) component. We show that the...
When building rule-based machine translation systems, a considerable human effort is needed to code the transfer rules that are able to translate source-language sentences into gra...
