In statistical language modeling, one technique to reduce the problematic effects of data sparsity is to partition the vocabulary into equivalence classes. In this paper we invest...
Abstract. This paper describes a methodology for constructing aligned German-Chinese corpora from movie subtitles. The corpora will be used to train a special machine translation s...
This paper proposes a two-phase example-based machine translation methodology which develops translation templates from examples and then translates using template matching. This ...
We describe an approach to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) performance using multi-lingual, parallel, sentence-aligned corpora in several bridge languages. Our appro...
Word alignment plays a crucial role in statistical machine translation. Word-aligned corpora have been found to be an excellent source of translation-related knowledge. We present...
