Shake-And-Bake Machine Translation

A novel approach to Machine Translation (MT), called Shake-and-Bake , is presented, which exploits recent advances iLL Computational Linguistics in terms of tile increased spread of lexicMist unification-based grammar theories. It is argued that it overcomes some difficulties encountered by transfer and interfingual methods. It offers a greater modularity of the monolingual components, which ca...

Shake-And-Bake Translation

The Transfer Function Bake-Off

alizing large 3D data sets from scientific or medical applications. Transfer functions are particularly important to the quality of direct volume-rendered images. A transfer function assigns optical properties, such as color and opacity, to original values of the data set being visualized. Unfortunately, finding good transfer functions proves difficult. Pat Hanrahan called it one of the top 10 ...

Using Template-Grammars for Shake & Bake Paraphrasing

In this paper we propose an approach to corpus-based generation in a machine translation framework that is similar to shake & bake (Whitelock, 1992). A bag of words is mapped against an automatically induced TL template grammar and a sentence is generated by recursively applying rules that are extracted from the template grammar. A test version of the template grammar is enriched with further l...
