Multiword Expressions in Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work describes an experimental evaluation of the significance of phrasal verb treatment for obtaining better quality statistical machine translation (SMT) results. The importance of the detection and special treatment of phrasal verbs is measured in the context of SMT, where the word-for-word translation of these units often produces incoherent results. Two ways of integrating phrasal verb information in a phrase-based SMT system are presented. Automatic and manual evaluations of the results reveal improvements in the translation quality in both experiments.

Improving Statistical Machine Translation Using Domain Bilingual Multiword Expressions
Multiword expressions (MWEs) have been proved useful for many natural language processing tasks. However, how to use them to improve performance of statistical machine translation (SMT) is not well studied. This paper presents a simple yet effective strategy to extract domain bilingual multiword expressions. In addition, we implement three methods to integrate bilingual MWEs to Moses, the state...

Machine Translation, (hereafter in this document referred to as the "MT") faces a lot of complex problems from its origination. Extracting multiword expressions is also one of the complex problems in MT. Finding multiword expressions during translating a sentence from English into Urdu, through existing solutions, takes a lot of time and occupies system resources. We have designed a simple rela...

Multiword Expressions are idiosyncratic word usages of a language which often have noncompositional meaning. The knowledge of multiword expressions is necessary for many NLP tasks like, machine translation, natural language generation, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis etc. In order for other NLP applications to benefit from the knowledge of multiword expressions, they need to be ide...

The language specific Multiword expressions (MWEs) play important roles in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Integrating reduplicated multiword expressions (RMWEs) into the Phrase Based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT) to improve translation quality is reported in the present work between Manipuri, a highly agglutinative Tibeto-Burman language and English. In addition, Multiw...
متن کاملTask-based Evaluation of Multiword Expressions: a Pilot Study in Statistical Machine Translation
We conduct a pilot study for task-oriented evaluation of Multiword Expression (MWE) in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We propose two different integration strategies for MWE in SMT, which take advantage of different degrees of MWE semantic compositionality and yield complementary improvements in SMT quality on a large-scale translation task.1
متن کاملTranslation of Multiword Expressions Using Parallel Suffix Arrays
Accurately translating multiword expressions is important to obtain good performance in machine translation, crosslanguage information retrieval, and other multilingual tasks in human language technology. Existing approaches to inducing translation equivalents of multiword units have focused on agglomerating individual words or on aligning words in a statistical machine translation system. We p...
