    Read, spot and translate

    We propose multimodal machine translation (MMT) approaches that exploit the correspondences between words and image regions. In contrast to existing work, our referential grounding method considers objects as the...

    A Bayesian non-linear method for feature selection in machine translation quality estimation

    We perform a systematic analysis of the effectiveness of features for the problem of predicting the quality of machine translation (MT) at the sentence level. Starting from a comprehensive feature set, we appl...

    Machine translation evaluation versus quality estimation

    Most evaluation metrics for machine translation (MT) require reference translations for each sentence in order to produce a score reflecting certain aspects of its quality. The de facto metrics, BLEU and NIST,...

    An investigation into feature construction to assist word sense disambiguation

    Identifying the correct sense of a word in context is crucial for many tasks in natural language processing (machine translation is an example). State-of-the art methods for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) bui...
