Integrating N-best SMT Outputs into a TM System
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to enrich Translation Memory (TM) systems with Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) outputs using ranking. In order to offer the human...

Machine Translation with Lattices and Forests
Traditional 1-best translation pipelines suffer a major drawback: the errors of 1best outputs, inevitably introduced by each module, will propagate and accumulate along the pipeli...

An Empirical Study of Translation Rule Extraction with Multiple Parsers
Translation rule extraction is an important issue in syntax-based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). Recent studies show that rule coverage is one of the key factors affecting...

Interpreting Pointing Gestures and Spoken Requests - A Probabilistic, Salience-based Approach
We present a probabilistic, salience-based approach to the interpretation of pointing gestures together with spoken utterances. Our mechanism models dependencies between spatial a...

A comparison of unsupervised methods for Part-of-Speech Tagging in Chinese
We conduct a series of Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging experiments using Expectation Maximization (EM), Variational Bayes (VB) and Gibbs Sampling (GS) against the Chinese Penn Treeba...

Comparing the performance of two TAG-based surface realisers using controlled grammar traversal
We present GENSEM, a tool for generating input semantic representations for two sentence generators based on the same reversible Tree Adjoining Grammar. We then show how GENSEM ca...

Predicting Discourse Connectives for Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition
Existing works indicate that the absence of explicit discourse connectives makes it difficult to recognize implicit discourse relations. In this paper we attempt to overcome this ...

An Efficient Shift-Reduce Decoding Algorithm for Phrased-Based Machine Translation
In statistical machine translation, decoding without any reordering constraint is an NP-hard problem. Inversion Transduction Grammars (ITGs) exploit linguistic structure and can w...
