Cairo: An Alignment Visualization Tool
Noah A. Smith, Michael Jahr · 2000
While developing a suite of tools for statistical machine translation research, we recognized the need for a visualization tool that would allow researchers to examine and evaluate specific word correspondences generated by a translation system.We developed Cairo to fill this need.Cairo is a free, open-source, portable, user-friendly, GUI-driven program written in Java that provides a visual representation of word correspondences between bilingual pairs of sentences, as well as relevant translation model parameters.This program can be easily adapted for visualization of correspondences in bi-texts based on probability distributions.
