RALI: SMT Shared Task System Description
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thanks to the profusion of freely available tools, it recently became fairly easy to built a statistical machine translation (SMT) engine given a bitext. The expectations we can have on the quality of such a system may however greatly vary from one pair of languages to another. We report on our experiments in building phrase-based translation engines for the four pairs of languages we had to consider for the SMT sharedtask.

RALI System Description for CL-SciSumm 2016 Shared Task
We present our approach to the CL-SciSumm 2016 shared task. We propose a technique to determine the discourse role of a sentence. We differentiate between words linked to the topic of the paper and the ones that link to the facet of the scientific discourse. Using that information, histograms are built over the training data to infer a facet for each sentence of the paper (result, method, aim, ...
متن کاملKernel Regression Framework for Machine Translation: UCL System Description for WMT 2008 Shared Translation Task
The novel kernel regression model for SMT only demonstrated encouraging results on small-scale toy data sets in previous works due to the complexities of kernel methods. It is the first time results based on the real-world data from the shared translation task will be reported at ACL 2008 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation. This paper presents the key modules of our system, including t...
متن کاملNICT@WMT09: Model Adaptation and Transliteration for Spanish-English SMT
This paper describes the NICT statistical machine translation (SMT) system used for the WMT 2009 Shared Task (WMT09) evaluation. We participated in the Spanish-English translation task. The focus of this year’s participation was to investigate model adaptation and transliteration techniques in order to improve the translation quality of the baseline phrasebased SMT system.
متن کاملMulti-Task Minimum Error Rate Training for SMT
We present experiments on multi-task learning for discriminative training in statistical machine translation (SMT), extending standardminimum-error-rate training (MERT) by techniques that take advantage of the similarity of related tasks. We apply our techniques to German-toEnglish translation of patents from 8 tasks according to the International Patent Classification (IPC) system. Our experim...
متن کاملSystem Combination for Grammatical Error Correction
Different approaches to high-quality grammatical error correction have been proposed recently, many of which have their own strengths and weaknesses. Most of these approaches are based on classification or statistical machine translation (SMT). In this paper, we propose to combine the output from a classification-based system and an SMT-based system to improve the correction quality. We adopt t...
