We describe an approach to automatically learn reordering rules to be applied as a preprocessing step in phrase-based machine translation. We learn rules for 8 different language ...
The morphology of Semitic languages is unique in the sense that the major word-formation mechanism is an inherently non-concatenative process of interdigitation, whereby two morph...
We present a new method that compresses sentences by removing words. In a first stage, it generates candidate compressions by removing branches from the source sentence's dep...
This paper describes a framework for defining domain specific Feature Functions in a user friendly form to be used in a Maximum Entropy Markov Model (MEMM) for the Named Entity Re...
We describe Akamon, an open source toolkit for tree and forest-based statistical machine translation (Liu et al., 2006; Mi et al., 2008; Mi and Huang, 2008). Akamon implements all...
