Possible - Translations

This text aims at providing a bird's eye view of possible-translations semantics ([10, 24]), defined, developed and illustrated as a very comprehensive formalism for obtaining or for representing semantics for all sorts of logics. With that tool, a wide class of complex logics will very naturally turn out to be (de)composable by way of some suitable combination of simpler logics. Several exampl...

pingite. Par le Dr. Turgard (Suite et fin). Chronic salpingitis may be cured, and all means ought to be tried to avoid to the patient a mutilation and to let her undergo an operation which, although often benign and successful, yet may cause her premature death. The general treatment must be symptomatic. In order to relieve pain, narcotics, cataplasms, rest. Against fever quinine ought to be gi...

Better Alignments = Better Translations?

Automatic word alignment is a key step in training statistical machine translation systems. Despite much recent work on word alignment methods, alignment accuracy increases often produce little or no improvements in machine translation quality. In this work we analyze a recently proposed agreementconstrained EM algorithm for unsupervised alignment models. We attempt to tease apart the effects t...
