We use existing tools to automatically build two parallel treebanks from existing parallel corpora. We then show that combining the data extracted from both the treebanks and the ...
We examine effects that empty categories have on machine translation. Empty categories are elements in parse trees that lack corresponding overt surface forms (words) such as drop...
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...
Untranslated words still constitute a major problem for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), and current SMT systems are limited by the quantity of parallel training texts. Augm...
In this article, an original view on how to improve phrase translation estimates is proposed. This proposal is grounded on two main ideas: first, that appropriate examples of a gi...
