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...
We explore how to improve machine translation systems by adding more translation data in situations where we already have substantial resources. The main challenge is how to buck ...
We propose a novel language-independent approach for improving statistical machine translation for resource-poor languages by exploiting their similarity to resource-rich ones. Mo...
When people communicate in their native languages using machine translation, they face various problems in constructing common ground. This study investigates the difficulties of ...
In aiming at research and development on machine translation, we produced a test collection for Japanese-English machine translation in the seventh NTCIR Workshop. This paper desc...
