String Transduction with Target Language Models and Insertion Handling
Garrett Nicolai, Saeed Kazemi Najafi, Grzegorz Kondrak · 2018
Many character-level tasks can be framed as sequence-to-sequence transduction, where the target is a word from a natural language.We show that leveraging target language models derived from unannotated target corpora, combined with a precise alignment of the training data, yields state-of-the art results on cognate projection, inflection generation, and phoneme-to-grapheme conversion.
