The paper describes a rule-based machine translation system adapted to English to Finnish translation. Although the translation system participates in the shared task of news translation in WMT 2017, the paper describes the strengths and weaknesses of the approach in general.

The usefulness of a translated text for gisting purposes strongly depends on the overall translation quality of the text, but especially on the translation quality of the most informative portions of the text. In this paper we address the problems of ranking translated sentences within a document and ranking translated documents within a set of documents on the same topic according to their inf...

Nowadays, with the trend of world political multi-polarization and regional economic integration, international communication has become an essential way for development each country. News indispensable to public acquire information happened domestic abroad everyday. Thus, accurate news translation based on different language backgrounds important channel get news. Give a broad overview current...

Bilingual news article alignment methods based on multi-lingual information retrieval have been shown to be successful for the automatic production of so-called noisy-parallel corpora. In this paper we compare the use of machine translation (MT) to the commonly used dictionary term lookup (DTL) method for Renter news article aligmnent in English and Japanese. The results show the trade-off betw...

We participated in the link detection task and submitted four runs, including both manual and ASR transcription for audio resources; and both English translation and original Chinese character source stream for Mandarin sources. This paper will propose a method to tell if a pair of news stories discusses the same topic. Several issues are addressed, e.g., how to represent a news story, how to m...

This paper discusses and proposes a translation unit for simultaneous translation using a machine translation (MT) system. Monologues, such as lectures or broadcast news, are used as the target of simultaneous speech translation. To date, a lot of research on speech translation has dealt with dialogues, especially travel conversations. Most of the speech translation systems in MT have treated a...

We describe the Cambridge University Engineering Department phrase-based statistical machine translation system for SpanishEnglish and French-English translation in the ACL 2008 Third Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation Shared Task. The CUED system follows a generative model of translation and is implemented by composition of component models realised as Weighted Finite State Transducer...
