چکیده

We present a novel, structured language model Supertagged Dependency Language Model to model the syntactic dependencies between words. The goal is to identify ungrammatical hypotheses from a set of candidate translations in a MT system combination framework and help select the best translation candidates using a variety of sentence-level features. We use a two-step mechanism based on constituent parsing and elementary tree extraction to obtain supertags and their dependency relations. Our experiments show that the structured language model provides significant improvement in the framework of sentence-level system combination.

A Hybrid Machine Translation System Based on a Monotone Decoder

In this paper, a hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system is proposed by combining the result of a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system with a statistical approach. The RBMT uses a set of linguistic rules for translation, which leads to better translation results in terms of word ordering and syntactic structure. On the other hand, SMT works better in lexical choice. Therefore, in our sys...

Design and implementation of Persian spelling detection and correction system based on Semantic

Persian Language has a special feature (grapheme, homophone, and multi-shape clinging characters) in electronic devices.

Spelling tools are used widely for editing user texts like emails and text in editors.  Also developing Persian tools will provide Persian progr...
