This paper presents a word support model (WSM). The WSM can effectively perform homophone selection and syllable-word segmentation to improve Chinese input systems. The experiment...
Obtaining high-quality machine translations is still a long way off. A postediting phase is required to improve the output of a machine translation system. An alternative is the s...
As an area of great linguistic and cultural diversity, Asian language resources have received much less attention than their western counterparts. Creating a common standard for A...
This paper presents a novel training algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the global scoring...
This paper proposes a knowledge representation model and a logic proving setting with axioms on demand successfully used for recognizing textual entailments. It also details a lex...
Certain distinctions made in the lexicon of one language may be redundant when translating into another language. We quantify redundancy among source types by the similarity of th...
The integration of sophisticated inference-based techniques into natural language processing applications first requires a reliable method of encoding the predicate-argument struc...
Japanese case markers, which indicate the grammatical relation of the complement NP to the predicate, often pose challenges to the generation of Japanese text, be it done by a for...
This paper proposes a framework for training Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to optimize multivariate evaluation measures, including non-linear measures such as F-score. Our prop...
In this paper we investigate ChineseEnglish name transliteration using comparable corpora, corpora where texts in the two languages deal in some of the same topics -- and therefor...
