An efficient generation algorithm for lexicalist MT

Victor Poznański, John L. Beaven, Pete Whitelock · 1995

The lexicalist approach to Machine Translation offers significant advantages in the development of linguistic descriptions. However, the Shake-and-Bake generation algorithm of (Whitelock, 1992) is NP-complete. We present a polynomial time algorithm for lexicalist MT generation provided that sufficient information can be transferred to ensure more determinism.
