Pronoun Translation and Prediction with or without Coreference Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Idiap NLP Group has participated in both DiscoMT 2015 sub-tasks: pronounfocused translation and pronoun prediction. The system for the first sub-task combines two knowledge sources: grammatical constraints from the hypothesized coreference links, and candidate translations from an SMT decoder. The system for the second sub-task avoids hypothesizing a coreference link, and uses instead a large set of source-side and target-side features from the noun phrases surrounding the pronoun to train a pronoun predictor.

Translating Pronouns with Latent Anaphora Resolution
We discuss the translation of anaphoric pronouns in statistical machine translation from English into French. Pronoun translation requires resolving the antecedents of the pronouns in the input, a classic discourse processing problem that is usually approached through supervised learning from manually annotated data. We cast cross-lingual pronoun prediction as a classification task and present ...
متن کاملA Document-Level SMT System with Integrated Pronoun Prediction
This paper describes one of Uppsala University’s submissions to the pronounfocused machine translation (MT) shared task at DiscoMT 2015. The system is based on phrase-based statistical MT implemented with the document-level decoder Docent. It includes a neural network for pronoun prediction trained with latent anaphora resolution. At translation time, coreference information is obtained from th...
متن کاملUsing Coreference Links to Improve Spanish-to-English Machine Translation
In this paper, we present a proof-ofconcept of a coreference-aware decoder for document-level machine translation. We consider that better translations should have coreference links that are closer to those in the source text, and implement this criterion in two ways. First, we define a similarity measure between source and target coreference structures, by projecting the target ones onto the s...
متن کاملLatent Anaphora Resolution for Cross-Lingual Pronoun Prediction
This paper addresses the task of predicting the correct French translations of third-person subject pronouns in English discourse, a problem that is relevant as a prerequisite for machine translation and that requires anaphora resolution. We present an approach based on neural networks that models anaphoric links as latent variables and show that its performance is competitive with that of a sy...
متن کاملParCor 1.0: A Parallel Pronoun-Coreference Corpus to Support Statistical MT
We present ParCor, a parallel corpus of texts in which pronoun coreference – reduced coreference in which pronouns are used as referring expressions – has been annotated. The corpus is intended to be used both as a resource from which to learn systematic differences in pronoun use between languages and ultimately for developing and testing informed Statistical Machine Translation systems aimed ...
