: Up to now, the results of applying sophisticated NL techniques to IR have been mostly disappointing. Our research aims at investigating in detail the role of syntactic analysis i...
This paper discusses the use of statistical word alignment over multiple parallel texts for the identification of string spans that cannot be constituents in one of the languages....
Compounded words are a challenge for NLP applications such as machine translation (MT). We introduce methods to learn splitting rules from monolingual and parallel corpora. We eva...
Building NLG systems, in particular statistical ones, requires parallel data (paired inputs and outputs) which do not generally occur naturally. In this paper, we investigate the ...
Two major stages stages in language identification systems can be identified: the language modeling stage, where the distinctive features of languages are determined and stored in...
