Disambiguating Discourse Connectives for Statistical Machine Translation

This paper shows that the automatic labeling of discourse connectives with the relations they signal, prior to machine translation (MT), can be used by phrase-based statistical MT systems to improve their translations. This improvement is demonstrated here ...

Noise analysis of genome-scale protein synthesis using a discrete computational model of translation

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Julien Racle, Adam Stefaniuk

Noise in genetic networks has been the subject of extensive experimental and computational studies. However, very few of these studies have considered noise properties using mechanistic models that account for the discrete movement of ribosomes and RNA pol ...

Pronoun Translation and Prediction with or without Coreference Links

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Lesly Sadiht Miculicich Werlen

The Idiap NLP Group has participated in both DiscoMT 2015 sub-tasks: pronoun-focused translation and pronoun prediction. The system for the first sub-task combines two knowledge sources: gram matical constraints from the hypothesized coreference links, and ...

A simple continuous excitation model for parametric vocoding

Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

We describe a continuous-pitch parametric vocoder suitable for speech coding and statistical text to speech synthesis. The spectral model is based on linear prediction. We show that glottal modelling techniques from recent literature can be cherry-picked t ...

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 The rule-based and interlingua approaches have been superseded by statistical models, which learn the most likely translations from large parallel corpora.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 ...

Automatic Speech Recognition and Translation of a Swiss German Dialect: Walliserdeutsch

Philip Neil Garner, David Imseng, Thomas Meyer

Walliserdeutsch is a Swiss German dialect spoken in the south west of Switzerland. To investigate the potential of automatic speech processing of Walliserdeutsch, a small database was collected based mainly on broadcast news from a local radio station. Exp ...

Cross-linguistic annotation of narrativity for English/French verb tense disambiguation

Thomas Meyer

This paper presents manual and automatic annotation experiments for a pragmatic verb tense feature (narrativity) in English/French parallel corpora. The feature is considered to play an important role for translating English Simple Past tense into French, ...

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 ...

Microscale patterning of hydrogel stiffness through light-triggered uncaging of thiols

Matthias Lütolf, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Laura Kolb

Mammalian cell behavior is strongly influenced by physical and chemical cues originating from the extracellular matrix (ECM). In vivo, ECM signals are displayed in a spatiotemporally complex fashion, often composed as gradients and in concentration profile ...

Optimally Packed Chains of Bulges in Multishift QR Algorithms

Daniel Kressner

The QR algorithm is the method of choice for computing all eigenvalues of a dense nonsymmetric matrix A. After an initial reduction to Hessenberg form, a QR iteration can be viewed as chasing a small bulge from the top left to the bottom right corner along ...
