Some Aspects of Shake-and-bake Machine Translation between English and Italian

Shake-and-Bake is an approach to bidirectional and multilingual Machine Translation which takes advantage of the features of lexically-based uniication grammars to design modular systems, where grammars are written on purely monolingual considerations. An extension to the standard Shake-and-Bake model is proposed in order to increase such peculiarities. It consists in introducing in the system ...

A Chart Generator for Shake and Bake Machine Translation

A generation algorithm based on an active chart parsing algorithm is introduced which can be used in conjunction with a Shake and Bake machine translation system. A concise Prolog implementation of the algorithm is provided, and some performance comparisons with a shift-reduce based algorithm are given which show the chart generator is much more efficient for generating all possible sentences f...

Shake-and-Bake MT and Morphology*

We will address the issue of designing MT systems where the capability to reuse grammars taken off the shelf is maximized, thus restricting the need for application-specific work. Or. to put it in a slightly different way, our proposal is aimed at encouraging the development of pure grammars (i.e. grammars describing languages in the abstract), to be contrasted with those which are extensively ...

SnB: Applying Shake-and-Bake to Proteins

The Shake-and-Bake algorithm is a powerful formulation of direct methods which alternates reciprocal-space phase refinement with filtering in real space to impose constraints. As implemented in SnB version 1.5, the current distributed version of the computer program, Shake-and-Bake combines peak picking in real space with optimization via either parameter-shift reduction of the minimal-function...
