Approaches to plural reference generation emphasise descriptive brevity, but often lack empirical backing. This paper describes a corpus-based study of plural descriptions, and pr...
This paper proposes a novel method to compile statistical models for machine translation to achieve efficient decoding. In our method, each statistical submodel is represented by ...
Given a parallel parsed corpus, statistical treeto-tree alignment attempts to match nodes in the syntactic trees for a given sentence in two languages. We train a probabilistic tr...
If two translation systems differ differ in performance on a test set, can we trust that this indicates a difference in true system quality? To answer this question, we describe b...
We describe experiments carried out with adaptive language and translation models in the context of an interactive computer-assisted translation program. We developed cache-based ...
