Using Sense-labeled Discourse Connectives for Statistical Machine Translation

This article shows how the automatic disambiguation of discourse connectives can improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) from English to French. Connectives are firstly disambiguated in terms of the discourse relation they signal between segments. Se ...

Discourse-level Annotation over Europarl for Machine Translation: Connectives and Pronouns

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Thomas Meyer

This paper describes methods and results for the annotation of two discourse-level phenomena, connectives and pronouns, over a multilingual parallel corpus. Excerpts from Europarl in English and French have been annotated with disambiguation information fo ...

CAT(0) Geometry for the Thompson Group

Dan Titus Salajan

We investigate Farley’s CAT(0) cubical model for Thompson’s group F (we adopt the classical language of F, using binary trees and piecewise linear maps, avoiding the one of diagram groups and pictures). Main results include: in general, Thompson’s group el ...

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 Survey on Language Modeling using Neural Networks

Nikolaos Pappas, Thomas Meyer

A Language Model (LM) is a helpful component of a variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems today. For speech recognition, machine translation, information retrieval, word sense disambiguation etc., the contribution of an LM is to provide featur ...

Statistical Modeling of Spatial Extremes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Simone Padoan

The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This article reviews recent progress in the ...

Qualitative Spatial and Temporal Reasoning with Answer Set Programming

Jingshi Li

Representing and reasoning spatial and temporal information is a key research issue in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we introduce tools that produce three novel encodings which translate problems in qualitative spatial and te ...

STATISTICAL MODELING OF THE EYE FOR MULTIMODAL TREATMENT PLANNING FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIOTHERAPY OF INTRAOCULAR TUMORS

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Alessia Pica

A statistical shape model is a suitable tool for high accuracy eye modeling required for treatment planning for external beam radiotherapy of intraocular tumors. In this study, the automatically adapted eye model has been compared to manual segmentation ba ...

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 ...
