چکیده

Multiword expressions (MWEs) have been proved useful for many natural language processing tasks. However, how to use them to improve performance of statistical machine translation (SMT) is not well studied. This paper presents a simple yet effective strategy to extract domain bilingual multiword expressions. In addition, we implement three methods to integrate bilingual MWEs to Moses, the state-ofthe-art phrase-based machine translation system. Experiments show that bilingual MWEs could improve translation performance significantly.

Building Multiword Expressions Bilingual Lexicons for Domain Adaptation of an Example-Based Machine Translation System

We describe in this paper a hybrid approach to build automatically bilingual lexicons of Multiword Expressions (MWEs) from parallel corpora. We more specifically investigate the impact of using a domain-specific bilingual lexicon of MWEs on domain adaptation of an Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) system. We conducted experiments on the English-French language pair and two kinds of texts...

Identifying bilingual Multi-Word Expressions for Statistical Machine Translation

MultiWord Expressions (MWEs) repesent a key issue for numerous applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) especially for Machine Translation (MT). In this paper, we describe a strategy for detecting translation pairs of MWEs in a French-English parallel corpus. In addition we introduce three methods aiming to integrate extracted bilingual MWES in MOSES, a phrase based Statistical Machine...

Integration of Reduplicated Multiword Expressions and Named Entities in a Phrase Based Statistical Machine Translation System

The language specific Multiword expressions (MWEs) play important roles in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Integrating reduplicated multiword expressions (RMWEs) into the Phrase Based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT) to improve translation quality is reported in the present work between Manipuri, a highly agglutinative Tibeto-Burman language and English. In addition, Multiw...

Translation of Multiword Expressions Using Parallel Suffix Arrays

Accurately translating multiword expressions is important to obtain good performance in machine translation, crosslanguage information retrieval, and other multilingual tasks in human language technology. Existing approaches to inducing translation equivalents of multiword units have focused on agglomerating individual words or on aligning words in a statistical machine translation system. We p...
