Explanation-based Learning for Machine Translation

In this paper we present an application of explanation-based learning (EBL) in the parsing module of a real-time English-Spanish machine translation system designed to translate closed captions. We discuss the efficiency/coverage trade-offs available in EBL and introduce the techniques we use to increase coverage while maintaining a high level of space and time efficiency. Our performance resul...

Dust source mapping using satellite imagery and machine learning models

Predicting dust sources area and determining the affecting factors is necessary in order to prioritize management and practice deal with desertification due to wind erosion in arid areas. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the application of three machine learning models (including generalized linear model, artificial neural network, random forest) to predict the vulnerability of dust cent...

Machine Learning Models for Housing Prices Forecasting using Registration Data

This article has been compiled to identify the best model of housing price forecasting using machine learning methods with maximum accuracy and minimum error. Five important machine learning algorithms are used to predict housing prices, including Nearest Neighbor Regression Algorithm (KNNR), Support Vector Regression Algorithm (SVR), Random Forest Regression Algorithm (RFR), Extreme Gradient B...

Counterfactual Learning for Machine Translation: Degeneracies and Solutions

Counterfactual learning is a natural scenario to improve web-based machine translation services by offline learning from feedback logged during user interactions. In order to avoid the risk of showing inferior translations to users, in such scenarios mostly exploration-free deterministic logging policies are in place. We analyze possible degeneracies of inverse and reweighted propensity scoring...
