Nsf Grant Second-year Progress Report Project Title: Logical and Statistical Approaches to Mismatch Resolution in Machine Translation

Comparing Approaches to Virtualized Page Translation in Modern VMMs

Virtual machine monitors for modern x86 processors can use a variety of approaches to virtualize address translation. These include the widely-used software approach of shadow paging, with and without caching or prefetching, as well as the widely used hardware approach of nested paging. We compare and analyze the measured performance of these approaches on two different VMMs, KVM and Palacios, ...

Improving the Performance of GIZA++ Using Variational Bayes

Bayesian approaches have been shown to reduce the amount of overfitting that occurs when running the EM algorithm, by placing prior probabilities on the model parameters. We apply one such Bayesian technique, variational Bayes, to GIZA++, a widely-used piece of software that computes word alignments for statistical machine translation. We show that using variational Bayes improves the performan...

بهبود و توسعه یک سیستم مترجم‌یار انگلیسی به فارسی

In recent years, significant improvements have been achieved in statistical machine translation (SMT), but still even the best machine translation technology is far from replacing or even competing with human translators. Another way to increase the productivity of the translation process is computer-assisted translation (CAT) system. In a CAT system, the human translator begins to type the tra...
