Sentence-level aligned parallel texts are important resources for a number of natural language processing (NLP) tasks and applications such as statistical machine translation and cross-language information retrieval. With the rapid growth of online parallel texts, efficient and robust sentence alignment algorithms become increasingly important. In this paper, we propose a fast and robust senten...
