Efficient Translation of Haskell to Java Master’s Thesis Proposal

Master’s Thesis Research Proposal

This is a proposal for the research I wish to do for my Master’s thesis. It is an attempt to categorize what I know, what I don’t know, what I need to do, and where I need help. It also consists of my attempt to completely survey the literature.

JMTk: A Portable Memory Management Toolkit

JMTk is a memory management toolkit written in Java for the JikesRVM Java Virtual Machine. JMTk provides reusable components for the development of allocation and garbage collection algorithms, and an efficient implementation of a rapidly growing number of memory management schemes, and is a significant enabler for memory management research. A portable version of JMTk would allow the growing b...

Thesis for the Degree of Licentiate of Philosophy

This thesis describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoretical investigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis for the work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF). It is a very complex system, which comprises among other things a grammar formalism based on type theory and its implementation written in Haskell. GF is intended for high-quality machine transl...

Syntax-based Statistical Machine Translation using Tree Automata and Tree Transducers

In this paper I present a Master’s thesis proposal in syntax-based Statistical Machine Translation. I propose to build discriminative SMT models using both tree-to-string and tree-to-tree approaches. Translation and language models will be represented mainly through the use of Tree Automata and Tree Transducers. These formalisms have important representational properties that makes them well-su...
