Subword Mapping and Anchoring across Languages

State-of-the-art multilingual systems rely on shared vocabularies that sufficiently cover all considered languages. To this end, a simple and frequently used approach makes use of subword vocabularies constructed jointly over several languages. We hypothes ...

OdiEnCorp 2.0: Odia-English Parallel Corpus for Machine Translation

Petr Motlicek

The preparation of parallel corpora is a challenging task, particularly for languages that suffer from under-representation in the digital world. In a multi-lingual country like India, the need for such parallel corpora is stringent for several low-resourc ...

Word Sense Consistency in Statistical and Neural Machine Translation

Xiao Pu

Different senses of source words must often be rendered by different words in the target language when performing machine translation (MT). Selecting the correct translation of polysemous words can be done based on the contexts of use. However, state-of-th ...

Discourse-level features for statistical machine translation

Thomas Meyer

Machine Translation (MT) has progressed tremendously in the past two decades. The rule-based and interlingua approaches have been superseded by statistical models, which learn the most likely translations from large parallel corpora. System design does not ...

English-French Verb Phrase Alignment in Europarl for Tense Translation Modeling

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Thomas Meyer

This paper presents a method for verb phrase (VP) alignment in an English/French parallel corpus and its use for improving statistical machine translation (SMT) of verb tenses. The method starts from automatic word alignment performed with GIZA++, and reli ...

Using the Europarl corpus for cross-linguistic research

Thomas Meyer

Europarl is a large multilingual corpus containing the minutes of the debates at the European Parliament. This article presents a method to extract different corpora from Europarl: monolingual and multilingual comparable corpora, as well as parallel corpor ...

Extracting Directional and Comparable Corpora from a Multilingual Corpus for Translation Studies

Thomas Meyer

Translation studies rely more and more on corpus data to examine specificities of translated texts, that can be translated from different original languages and compared to original texts. In parallel, more and more multilingual corpora are becoming availa ...

Translation Error Spotting from a User's Point of View

Thomas Meyer

The evaluation of errors made by Machine Translation (MT) systems still needs human effort despite the fact that there are automated MT evaluation tools, such as the BLEU metric. Moreover, assuming that there would be tools that support humans in this tran ...

A Corpus-based Contrastive Analysis for Defining Minimal Semantics of Inter-sentential Dependencies for Machine Translation

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Thomas Meyer

Inter-sentential dependencies such as discourse connectives or pronouns have an impact on the translation of these items. These dependencies have classically been analyzed within complex theoretical frameworks, often monolingual ones, and the resulting fin ...
