Hierarchical phrase-based machine translation can capture global reordering with synchronous context-free grammar, but has little ability to evaluate the correctness of word orderings during decoding. We propose a method to integrate word-based reordering model into hierarchical phrasebased machine translation to overcome this weakness. Our approach extends the synchronous context-free grammar ...

Syntax-based statistical machine translation (MT) aims at applying statistical models to structured data. In this paper, we present a syntax-based statistical machine translation system based on a probabilistic synchronous dependency insertion grammar. Synchronous dependency insertion grammars are a version of synchronous grammars defined on dependency trees. We first introduce our approach to ...

In most imperative synchronous languages (Esterel, Argos, State-charts,...), the semantics of the control structures may be conveniently described as compositions of Mealy machines. This constitutes the usual formal semantics of Argos, for instance, where basic components are Mealy machines. On the other hand, the compilation process should not be based upon an explicit generation of the Mealy ...

Binarization of Synchronous Context Free Grammars (SCFG) is essential for achieving polynomial time complexity of decoding for SCFG parsing based machine translation systems. In this paper, we first investigate the excess edge competition issue caused by a leftheavy binary SCFG derived with the method of Zhang et al. (2006). Then we propose a new binarization method to mitigate the problem by e...

This paper presents a method to identify synchronous generator parameters from online data. An observer for estimation of synchronous machine damper currents is designed. The observer-estimator is used in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application. Possible internal machine fault conditions can be detected and remedial action can be undertaken. It is desired that an algorithm be developed suc...

The use of synchronous TAG for Machine Translation has been described by Abeille et al. [1990] and has resulted in several implementations [Prigent, 1994] [Egedi et al., 1994], mainly developed using the XTAG system [Paroubek et al., 1992]. While we subscribe to the general arguments in favour of the use of TAG+ for Machine Translation, it appears that speech translation could constitute an ide...

Alsawalhi, Jamal, Ph.D., Purdue University, December 2014. An Asymmetric Salient Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for Wide Constant Power Speed Range Applications. Major Professor: Scott Sudhoff. This work introduces a novel permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) architecture that employs rotational asymmetry to increase the torque density output in constant power variable speed applic...

Accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. In this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...
