In this paper we compare and contrast two approaches to Machine Translation (MT): the CMU-UKA Syntax Augmented Machine Translation system (SAMT) and UPC-TALP N-gram-based Statisti...
We introduce a semi-supervised approach to training for statistical machine translation that alternates the traditional Expectation Maximization step that is applied on a large tr...
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...
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...
