Name-aware Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a Name-aware Machine Translation (MT) approach which can tightly integrate name processing into MT model, by jointly annotating parallel corpora, extracting name-aware translation grammar and rules, adding name phrase table and name translation driven decoding. Additionally, we also propose a new MT metric to appropriately evaluate the translation quality of informative words, by assigning different weights to different words according to their importance values in a document. Experiments on Chinese-English translation demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach on enhancing the quality of overall translation, name translation and word alignment over a high-quality MT baseline1.

Source-Error Aware Phrase-Based Decoding for Robust Conversational Spoken Language Translation
Spoken language translation (SLT) systems typically follow a pipeline architecture, in which the best automatic speech recognition (ASR) hypothesis of an input utterance is fed into a statistical machine translation (SMT) system. Conversational speech often generates unrecoverable ASR errors owing to its rich vocabulary (e.g. out-of-vocabulary (OOV) named entities). In this paper, we study the ...
متن کاملGender Aware Spoken Language Translation Applied to English-Arabic
Spoken Language Translation (SLT) is becoming more widely used and becoming a communication tool that helps in crossing language barriers. One of the challenges of SLT is the translation from a language without gender agreement to a language with gender agreement such as English to Arabic. In this paper, we introduce an approach to tackle such limitation by enabling a Neural Machine Translation...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Syntax-Aware Statistical Machine Translation
All of the non-trivial algorithms that are necessary for building and applying a rudimentary syntax-aware statistical machine translation system are generalized parsers. This paper extends the “translation by parsing” architecture by adding two components that are invariably used by state-of-the-art statistical machine translation systems. First, the paper shows how a generic syntax-aware trans...
متن کاملA Character-Aware Encoder for Neural Machine Translation
This article proposes a novel character-aware neural machine translation (NMT) model that views the input sequences as sequences of characters rather than words. On the use of row convolution (Amodei et al., 2015), the encoder of the proposed model composes word-level information from the input sequences of characters automatically. Since our model doesn’t rely on the boundaries between each wo...
متن کاملA Principled Approach to Context-Aware Machine Translation
This paper presents a new principled approach to context-aware machine translation. The proposed approach reformulates the posterior probability of a translation hypothesis given the source input by incorporating the source-context information as an additional conditioning variable. As a result, a new model component, which is referred to as the context-awareness model, is added into the origin...
