In this paper, we t)resent and compare various alignnmnt models for statistical machine translation. We propose to measure tile quality of an aligmnent model using the quality of ...
The parameters of statistical translation models are typically estimated from sentence-aligned parallel corpora. We show that significant improvements in the alignment and transla...
This paper proposes to use monolingual collocations to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We make use of the collocation probabilities, which are estimated from monoli...
In this paper we will present a maximum entropy filter for the translation rules of a statistical machine translation system based on tree transducers. This filter can be success...
Abstract. German compound words pose special problems to statistical machine translation systems: the occurence of each of the components in the training data is not sufficient for...
