We present the wamcc system, a Prolog compiler that translates Prolog to C via the WAM. This approach has some interesting consequences: simplicity, efficiency, portability, exten...
JIT compilation is a model of execution which translates at run time critical parts of the program to a low level representation. Typically a JIT compiler produces machine code fro...
Paraphrases have proved to be useful in many applications, including Machine Translation, Question Answering, Summarization, and Information Retrieval. Paraphrase acquisition meth...
Current re-ranking algorithms for machine translation rely on log-linear models, which have the potential problem of underfitting the training data. We present BoostedMERT, a nove...
Electronic written texts used in computermediated interactions (e-mails, blogs, chats, etc) present major deviations from the norm of the language. This paper presents an comparat...
