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...
In the framework of the Tc-Star project, we analyze and propose a combination of two Statistical Machine Translation systems: a phrase-based and an N-gram-based one. The exhaustiv...
This paper presents an empirical study on how different selections of input translation systems affect translation quality in system combination. We give empirical evidence that t...
In this paper, we present a simple and effective method to address the issue of how to generate diversified translation systems from a single Statistical Machine Translation (SMT)...
