A New Objective Function for Word Alignment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a new objective function for word alignment that measures the size of the bilingual dictionary induced by an alignment. A word alignment that results in a small dictionary is preferred over one that results in a large dictionary. In order to search for the alignment that minimizes this objective, we cast the problem as an integer linear program. We then extend our objective function to align corpora at the sub-word level, which we demonstrate on a small Turkish-English corpus.

Effect of Objective Function on the Optimization of Highway Vertical Alignment by Means of Metaheuristic Algorithms
The main purpose of this work is the comparison of several objective functions for optimization of the vertical alignment. To this end, after formulation of optimum vertical alignment problem based on different constraints, the objective function was considered as four forms including: 1) the sum of the absolute value of variance between the vertical alignment and the existing ground; 2) the su...
متن کاملA word alignment model based on multiobjective evolutionary algorithms
Word alignment is a key task in statistical machine translation (SMT). This paper presents a novel model for this task. In this model, word alignment is considered as amultiobjective optimization problem and solved based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), which is one of the best multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA). There are two advantages of the proposed mo...

متن کاملImproving word alignment for low resource languages using English monolingual SRL
We introduce a new statistical machine translation approach specifically geared to learning translation from low resource languages, that exploits monolingual English semantic parsing to bias inversion transduction grammar (ITG) induction. We show that in contrast to conventional statistical machine translation (SMT) training methods, which rely heavily on phrase memorization, our approach focu...

Figure 1 shows a (romanized) Chinese sentence, an English sentence, and the word alignment between them. The links highlighted in blue indicate the correspondence between Chinese and English words. Word alignment is a challenging task because both the lexical choices and word orders in two languages are significantly different. For example, the English function words “the” and “a” have no count...
