Splitting compound words has proved to be useful in areas such as Machine Translation, Speech Recognition or Information Retrieval (IR). Furthermore, real-time IR systems (such as...
XML transformations are most naturally defined as recursive functions on trees. Their direct implementation, however, causes inefficient memory usage because the input XML tree is...
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
We present a machine translation framework that can incorporate arbitrary features of both input and output sentences. The core of the approach is a novel decoder based on lattice...
Extractive summarization techniques cannot generate document summaries shorter than a single sentence, something that is often required. An ideal summarization system would unders...
