Passive and Pervasive Use of Bilingual Dictionary in Statistical Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two primary approaches to the use bilingual dictionary in statistical machine translation: (i) the passive approach of appending the parallel training data with a bilingual dictionary and (ii) the pervasive approach of enforcing translation as per the dictionary entries when decoding. Previous studies have shown that both approaches provide external lexical knowledge to statistical machine translation thus improving translation quality. We empirically investigate the effects of both approaches on the same dataset and provide further insights on how lexical information can be reinforced in statistical machine translation.

EFL Translation Students' Perspective toward Using Bilingual Dictionary in Translation of Polysemous Words
This research presented the use of bilingual dictionary and addressed the EFL translation students' points of view on the use of bilingual dictionary in translating polysemous words (English to Persian). Moreo- ver, it aimed at finding the possible relationship between the effect of using bilingual dictionary by stu- dents in translating polysemous words and their achieved scores. In the study ...
متن کاملLarge-scale Dictionary Construction via Pivot-based Statistical Machine Translation with Significance Pruning and Neural Network Features
We present our ongoing work on large-scale Japanese-Chinese bilingual dictionary construction via pivot-based statistical machine translation. We utilize statistical significance pruning to control noisy translation pairs that are induced by pivoting. We construct a large dictionary which we manually verify to be of a high quality. We then use this dictionary and a parallel corpus to learn bili...
متن کاملAn Investigation into Bilingual Dictionary Use: Do the Frequency of Use and Type of Dictionary Make a Difference in L2 Writing Performance?
Bilingual dictionary use in L2 writing test performance has recently been the subject of debate. Opinions differ according to how the trait is understood and whether the system favors the process-oriented or product-oriented views towards the assessment and writing skill. Given the need for more empirical support, this study is aimed at investigating the availability of bilingual dictionary use...
متن کاملA new model for persian multi-part words edition based on statistical machine translation
Multi-part words in English language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. Persian language consists of multi-part words as well. Based on Persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. This common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...
متن کاملUsing a Random Forest Classifier to Compile Bilingual Dictionaries of Technical Terms from Comparable Corpora
We describe a machine learning approach, a Random Forest (RF) classifier, that is used to automatically compile bilingual dictionaries of technical terms from comparable corpora. We evaluate the RF classifier against a popular term alignment method, namely context vectors, and we report an improvement of the translation accuracy. As an application, we use the automatically extracted dictionary ...
