This paper studies two methods for training hierarchical MT rules independently of word alignments. Bilingual chart parsing and EM algorithm are used to train bitext correspondenc...
The four-level pachinko allocation model (PAM) (Li & McCallum, 2006) represents correlations among topics using a DAG structure. It does not, however, represent a nested hiera...
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical phrase alignment method that aims to acquire translation knowledge. Previous methods utilize the correspondence of sub-trees between bilin...
