We describe how to express homomorphic translations with an object-oriented design. This includes a uniform approach to the addition of external functionality to data structures. ...
Automatic word alignment is a key step in training statistical machine translation systems. Despite much recent work on word alignment methods, alignment accuracy increases often ...
Phrase-based decoding produces state-of-theart translations with no regard for syntax. We add syntax to this process with a cohesion constraint based on a dependency tree for the ...
The aim of this work is to show the ability of finite-state transducers to simultaneously translate speech into multiple languages. Our proposal deals with an extension of stocha...
The University of Maryland participated in three TREC-6 tasks: ad hoc retrieval, cross-language retrieval, and spoken document retrieval. The principal focus of the work was evalu...
