Obtaining SMT dictionaries for related languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study explores methods for developing Machine Translation dictionaries on the basis of word frequency lists coming from comparable corpora. We investigate (1) various methods to measure the similarity of cognates between related languages, (2) detection and removal of noisy cognate translations using SVM ranking. We show preliminary results on several Romance and Slavonic languages.

Grapheme Based Speech Recognition
This article presents the results of grapheme-based speech recognition for eight languages. The need for this approach arises in situation of low resource languages, where obtaining a pronunciation dictionary is timeand cost-consuming or impossible. In such scenarios, usage of grapheme dictionaries is the most simplest and straight-forward. The paper describes the process of automatic generatio...
متن کاملOn multiword lexical units and their role in maritime dictionaries
Multi-word lexical units are a typical feature of specialized dictionaries, in particular monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The paper studies the concept of the multi-word lexical unit and considers the similarities and differences of their selection and presentation in monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The work analyses such issues as the classification of multi-w...
متن کاملTransliteration by Bidirectional Statistical Machine Translation
The system presented in this paper uses phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT) techniques to directly transliterate between all language pairs in this shared task. The technique makes no language specific assumptions, uses no dictionaries or explicit phonetic information. The translation process transforms sequences of tokens in the source language directly into to sequences of toke...
متن کاملNested Refinements for Dynamic Languages
Programs written in dynamic languages make heavy use of features— run-time type tests, value-indexed dictionaries, polymorphism,and higher-order functions — that are beyond the reach of type sys-tems that employ either purely syntactic or purely semantic reason-ing. We present a core calculus, System D, that merges these twomodes of reasoning into a single powerful mecha...
متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation between Related Languages
Languageindependent Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) has proven to be very challenging. The diversity of languages makes high accuracy difficult and requires substantial parallel corpus as well as linguistic resources (parsers, morph analyzers, etc.). An interesting observation is that a large chunk of machine translation (MT) requirements involve related languages. They are either : (i) ...
