In this paper, we report our tree based statistical translation study from English to Turkish. We describe our data generation process and report the initial results of tree-based translation under a simple model. For corpus construction, we used the Penn Treebank in the English side. We manually translated about 5K trees from English to Turkish under grammar constraints with adaptations to acc...

This paper describes a multi-word expression processor for preprocessing Turkish text for various language engineering applications. In addition to the fairly standard set of lexicalized collocations and multi-word expressions such as named-entities, Turkish uses a quite wide range of semi-lexicalized and non-lexicalized collocations. After an overview of relevant aspects of Turkish, we present...
