In this paper, we implement a multilingual Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system for Arabic-English Translation. Arabic Text can be categorized into standard and dialectal Arabic. These two forms of Arabic differ significantly. Different mono-lingual and multi-lingual hybrid SMT approaches are compared. Mono-lingual systems do always result in better translation accuracy in one Arabic fo...

We present a novel algorithm for detecting errors in MT, specifically focusing on content words that are deleted during MT. We evaluate it in the context of cross-lingual question answering (CLQA), where we try to correct the detected errors by using a better (but slower) MT system to retranslate a limited number of sentences at query time. Using a query-dependent ranking heuristic enabled the ...

OBJECTIVE Lingual nerve damage sometimes occurs after the removal of third molars. The use of a lingual retractor has been advocated to protect the lingual nerve. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of lingual nerve damage after third molar surgery and the effect of a lingual retractor on nerve damage. STUDY DESIGN An exhaustive computerized search o...

Lexical resources modelled after the original PrincetonWordNet are being compiled for a considerable number of languages, however most have yet to reach a comparable level of coverage. In this paper, we show that automatically built wordnets, created from an existing wordnet in conjunction with translation dictionaries, are a suitable alternative for many applications, despite the errors introd...
