Factoring Synchronous Grammars by Sorting
Synchronous Context-Free Grammars (SCFGs) have been successfully exploited as translation models in machine translation applications. When parsing with an SCFG, computational comp...

MAGEAD: A Morphological Analyzer and Generator for the Arabic Dialects
We present MAGEAD, a morphological analyzer and generator for the Arabic language family. Our work is novel in that it explicitly addresses the need for processing the morphology ...

Reduced n-gram Models for English and Chinese Corpora
Statistical language models should improve as the size of the n-grams increases from 3 to 5 or higher. However, the number of parameters and calculations, and the storage requirem...

Segment-Based Hidden Markov Models for Information Extraction
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful statistical models that have found successful applications in Information Extraction (IE). In current approaches to applying HMMs to IE, a...

Conceptual Coherence in the Generation of Referring Expressions
One of the challenges in the automatic generation of referring expressions is to identify a set of domain entities coherently, that is, from the same conceptual perspective. We de...

Coreference Handling in XMG
We claim that existing specification languages for tree based grammars fail to adequately support identifier managment. We then show that XMG (eXtensible MetaGrammar) provides a s...

Approximation Lasso Methods for Language Modeling
Lasso is a regularization method for parameter estimation in linear models. It optimizes the model parameters with respect to a loss function subject to model complexities. This p...

Scalable Inference and Training of Context-Rich Syntactic Translation Models
Statistical MT has made great progress in the last few years, but current translation models are weak on re-ordering and target language fluency. Syntactic approaches seek to reme...

Robust Word Sense Translation by EM Learning of Frame Semantics
We propose a robust method of automatically constructing a bilingual word sense dictionary from readily available monolingual ontologies by using estimation-maximization, without ...

Semi-Supervised Learning of Partial Cognates Using Bilingual Bootstrapping
Partial cognates are pairs of words in two languages that have the same meaning in some, but not all contexts. Detecting the actual meaning of a partial cognate in context can be ...
