We present the ELEON/NATURALOWL system, an application of Semantic Web and Natural Language Generation technologies that combines a conceptual representation of cultural heritage objects with linguistic and adaptation resources. This combined model is used to automatically generate multi-lingual and personalized textual descriptions of cultural heritage objects represented as instances of an OW...

This paper proposes an alignment adaptation approach to improve domain-specific (in-domain) word alignment. The basic idea of alignment adaptation is to use out-of-domain corpus to improve in-domain word alignment results. In this paper, we first train two statistical word alignment models with the large-scale out-of-domain corpus and the small-scale in-domain corpus respectively, and then inte...
