[EN] Domain adaptation has recently gained interest in statistical machine translation. One of the adaptation techniques is based in the selection data. Data selection aims to select the best subset of the bilingual ...

In this thesis we present a new estimation algorithm for statistical models which does not incurs in the over-trainning problems. This new estimation techinque, the so-called, constrained domain maximum likelihood estimation ...

Globalization suddenly brings many people from different country to interact with each other, requiring them to be able to speak several languages. Human translators are slow and expensive, we find the necessity of developing ...

[ES] La intervención de los traductores humanos en un escenario de post-edición para corregir las traducciones obtenidas a partir de los sistemas de traducción automática es aún muy necesaria para lograr la calidad ...

[EN] Explicit length modelling has been previously explored in statistical pattern recognition with successful results. In this paper, two length models along with two parameter estimation methods and two alternative ...

[EN] In this article, the first public release of GREAT as an open-source, statistical machine translation (SMT) software toolkit is described. GREAT is based on a bilingual language modelling approach for SMT, which is ...

[EN] The current state of the art in Machine Translation (MT) is far from being good enough, with a post-process carried out by a human agent being necessary in many cases in order to correct translations. Statistical ...

System combination has proved to be a successful technique in the pattern recognition field. However, several difficulties arise when combining the outputs of tasks, e.g. machine translation, that generate structured ...

Machine translation is a fundamental technology that is gaining more importance each day in our multilingual society. Companies and particulars are turning their attention to machine translation since it dramatically ...

This thesis presents two main contributions in the fields of Statistical Machine Translation and Interactive Machine Translation. In the field of Statistical Machine Translation, the efforts have been focused on obtaining ...
