Word Triggers and the EM Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the use of so-called word trigger pairs to improve an existing language model, which is typically a trigram model in combination with a cache component. A word trigger pair is defined as a long-distance word pair. We present two methods to select the most significant single word trigger pairs. The selected trigger pairs are used in a combined model where the interpolation parameters and trigger interaction parameters are trained by the EM algorithm.

Estimating Word Translation Probabilities for Thai – English Machine Translation using EM Algorithm
Selecting the word translation from a set of target language words, one that conveys the correct sense of source word and makes more fluent target language output, is one of core problems in machine translation. In this paper we compare the 3 methods of estimating word translation probabilities for selecting the translation word in Thai – English Machine Translation. The 3 methods are (1) Metho...

متن کاملMaking adjustments to event annotations for improved biological event extraction
BACKGROUND Current state-of-the-art approaches to biological event extraction train statistical models in a supervised manner on corpora annotated with event triggers and event-argument relations. Inspecting such corpora, we observe that there is ambiguity in the span of event triggers (e.g., "transcriptional activity" vs. 'transcriptional'), leading to inconsistencies across event trigger anno...

متن کاملOnline EM for Unsupervised Models
The (batch) EM algorithm plays an important role in unsupervised induction, but it sometimes suffers from slow convergence. In this paper, we show that online variants (1) provide significant speedups and (2) can even find better solutions than those found by batch EM. We support these findings on four unsupervised tasks: part-of-speech tagging, document classification, word segmentation, and w...
