    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...

    Multimodal machine translation through visuals and speech

    Multimodal machine translation involves drawing information from more than one modality, based on the assumption that the additional modalities will contain useful alternative views of the input data. The most...

    Final Remarks

    QE, as presented in this book, is the task of predicting the quality of a given output of an NLP application without relying on comparisons against manually produced references. More specifically, QE focuses o...

    Introduction

    Quality Estimation (QE) for Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications is an area of emerging interest. The goal is to provide an estimate on how good or reliable the results returned by an application are...

    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...

    Statistical Relational Learning to Recognise Textual Entailment

    We propose a novel approach to recognise textual entailment (RTE) following a two-stage architecture – alignment and decision – where both stages are based on semantic representations. In the alignment stage t...

    Divergences in the Usage of Discourse Markers in English and Mandarin Chinese

    Statistical machine translation (SMT) has, in recent years, improved the accuracy of automated translations. However, SMT systems often fail to deliver human quality translations especially with complex senten...
