A Clustered Global Phrase Reordering Model for Statistical Machine Translation
In this paper, we present a novel global reordering model that can be incorporated into standard phrase-based statistical machine translation. Unlike previous local reordering mod...

Time Period Identification of Events in Text
This study aims at identifying when an event written in text occurs. In particular, we classify a sentence for an event into four time-slots; morning, daytime, evening, and night....
