Recent research presents conflicting evidence on whether word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems can help to improve the performance of statistical machine translation (MT) syste...
In this paper, we describe a search procedure for statistical machine translation (MT) based on dynmnic programming (DP). Starting from a DP-based solution to the traveling salesm...
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 investigate the use of Fisher's exact significance test for pruning the translation table of a hierarchical phrase-based statistical machine translation system. In additio...
—Mobile robots that interact with humans in an intuitive way must be able to follow directions provided by humans in unconstrained natural language. In this work we investigate h...
