Combined word alignments
Dan Ioan Tufis, Radu Ion, Alexandru Ceauşu, Dan C. Stefanescu · 2005
We briefly describe a word alignment system that combines two different methods in bitext correspondences identification.The first one is a hypotheses testing approach (Gale and Church, 1991;Melamed, 2001;Tufiş 2002) while the second one is closer to a model estimating approach (Brown et al., 1993;Och and Ney, 2000).We show that combining the two aligners the results are significantly improved as compared to each individual aligner.
