Detecting Grammatical Errors in Machine Translation Output Using Dependency Parsing and Treebank Querying
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the recent advances in the field of machine translation (MT), MT systems cannot guarantee that the sentences they produce will be fluent and coherent in both syntax and semantics. Detecting and highlighting errors in machine-translated sentences can help post-editors to focus on the erroneous fragments that need to be corrected. This paper presents two methods for detecting grammatical errors in Dutch machine-translated text, using dependency parsing and treebank querying. We test our approach on the output of a statistical and a rule-based MT system for English-Dutch and evaluate the performance on sentence and word-level. The results show that our method can be used to detect grammatical errors with high accuracy on sentence-level in both types of MT output.

Word-based Japanese typed dependency parsing with grammatical function analysis
We present a novel scheme for wordbased Japanese typed dependency parser which integrates syntactic structure analysis and grammatical function analysis such as predicate-argument structure analysis. Compared to bunsetsu-based dependency parsing, which is predominantly used in Japanese NLP, it provides a natural way of extracting syntactic constituents, which is useful for downstream applicatio...
متن کاملUsing Parallel Features in Parsing of Machine-Translated Sentences for Correction of Grammatical Errors
In this paper, we present two dependency parser training methods appropriate for parsing outputs of statistical machine translation (SMT), which pose problems to standard parsers due to their frequent ungrammaticality. We adapt the MST parser by exploiting additional features from the source language, and by introducing artificial grammatical errors in the parser training data, so that the trai...
متن کاملConstructing a Practical Constituent Parser from a Japanese Treebank with Function Labels
We present an empirical study on constructing a Japanese constituent parser, which can output function labels to deal with more detailed syntactic information. Japanese syntactic parse trees are usually represented as unlabeled dependency structure between bunsetsu chunks, however, such expression is insufficient to uncover the syntactic information about distinction between complements and adj...

The Treebank is one of the most useful resources for supervised or semi-supervised learning in many NLP tasks such as speech recognition, spoken language systems, parsing and machine translation. Treebank can be developded in different ways that could be, generally, categorized in manually and statistical approaches. While the resulted Treebank in each of these methods has the annotation error,...
متن کاملCross Language Dependency Parsing using a Bilingual Lexicon
This paper proposes an approach to enhance dependency parsing in a language by using a translated treebank from another language. A simple statistical machine translation method, word-by-word decoding, where not a parallel corpus but a bilingual lexicon is necessary, is adopted for the treebank translation. Using an ensemble method, the key information extracted from word pairs with dependency ...
