Making Headlines in Hindi: Automatic English to Hindi News Headline Translation
Aditya Joshi, Kashyap Popat, Shubham Gautam, Pushpak Bhattacharyya · 2013
News headlines exhibit stylistic peculiarities. The goal of our translation engine ‘Making Headlines in Hindi’ is to achieve automatic translation of English news headlines to Hindi while retaining the Hindi news headline styles. There are two central modules of our engine: the modified translation unit based on Moses and a co-occurrence-based post-processing unit. The modified translation unit provides two machine translation (MT) models: phrase-based and factor-based (both using in-domain data). In addition, a co-occurrence-based post-processing option may be turned on by a user. Our evaluation shows that this engine handles some linguistic phenomena observed in Hindi news headlines. 1
