To Memorize or to Predict: Prominence labeling in Conversational Speech
The immense prosodic variation of natural conversational speech makes it challenging to predict which words are prosodically prominent in this genre. In this paper, we examine a n...

Generating Case Markers in Machine Translation
We study the use of rich syntax-based statistical models for generating grammatical case for the purpose of machine translation from a language which does not indicate case explic...

A Log-Linear Block Transliteration Model based on Bi-Stream HMMs
We propose a novel HMM-based framework to accurately transliterate unseen named entities. The framework leverages features in letteralignment and letter n-gram pairs learned from ...

A Random Text Model for the Generation of Statistical Language Invariants
A novel random text generation model is introduced. Unlike in previous random text models, that mainly aim at producing a Zipfian distribution of word frequencies, our model also ...

Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation Based on Rate of Accomplishment of Sub-Goals
The quality of a sentence translated by a machine translation (MT) system is difficult to evaluate. We propose a method for automatically evaluating the quality of each translati...

Kernel Regression Based Machine Translation
We present a novel machine translation framework based on kernel regression techniques. In our model, the translation task is viewed as a string-to-string mapping, for which a reg...
