Task-based Evaluation of Multiword Expressions: a Pilot Study in Statistical Machine Translation
Marine Jacinthe Carpuat, Mona Diab · 2010
We conduct a pilot study for task-oriented evaluation of Multiword Expression (MWE) in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We propose two different integration strategies for MWE in SMT, which take advantage of differ-ent degrees of MWE semantic compositional-ity and yield complementary improvements in SMT quality on a large-scale translation task.1 1
