Linguistically Annotated BTG for Statistical Machine Translation

Bracketing Transduction Grammar (BTG) is a natural choice for effective integration of desired linguistic knowledge into statistical machine translation (SMT). In this paper, we propose a Linguistically Annotated BTG (LABTG) for SMT. It conveys linguistic knowledge of source-side syntax structures to BTG hierarchical structures through linguistic annotation. From the linguistically annotated da...

Refinements in BTG-based Statistical Machine Translation

Bracketing Transduction Grammar (BTG) has been well studied and used in statistical machine translation (SMT) with promising results. However, there are two major issues for BTG-based SMT. First, there is no effective mechanism available for predicting orders between neighboring blocks in the original BTG. Second, the computational cost is high. In this paper, we introduce two refinements for B...

HSSA tree structures for BTG-based preordering in machine translation

The Hierarchical Sub-Sentential Alignment (HSSA) method is a method to obtain aligned binary tree structures for two aligned sentences in translation correspondence. We propose to use the binary aligned tree structures delivered by this method as training data for preordering prior to machine translation. For that, we learn a Bracketing Transduction Grammar (BTG) from these binary aligned tree ...

Temporary and Permanent Buyout Prices in Online Auctions

B options allow bidders to instantly purchase at a specified price an item listed for sale through an online auction. A temporary buyout option disappears once a regular bid is submitted, whereas a permanent option remains available until it is exercised or the auction ends. Such buyout price may be static and remain constant throughout the auction, or dynamic and vary as the auction progresses...
