Constrained word alignment models for statistical machine translation
Word alignment is a fundamental and crucial component in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems. Despite the enormous progress made in the past two decades, this task remains an active research topic simply because the quality of word alignment is still far from optimal. Most …

Vision by alignment
… information to resolve ambiguity. I propose an alignment model for vision, in which computational specialists eagerly share state with their neighbors during ongoing computations, availing themselves of neighbors' partial results in order to ll gaps in evolving descriptions. Connections between …

Statistical machine translation : from single-word models to alignment templates
… Various methods for computing single-word alignments using statistical or heuristic models are described. Various smoothing techniques, methods to integrate a conventional dictionary and training methods are analyzed. A detailed evaluation of these models is performed by comparing the …

Phrase based statistical machine translation : models, search, training
… from the training data. We present improved alignment and translation models. We present alignment models which improve the alignment quality significantly. We extend the standard IBM word alignment models with a symmetric lexicon and we describe the corresponding training procedure. …

Statistical machine translation with cascaded probabilistic transducers
… is developed based on an extension of the HMM alignment model to the alignment of graphs. To generate new translations using the trained models a decoder is needed. This is essentially a search for the translation with the highest probability. A decoder had been developed which is based on …

Knee joint contact stresses : the influence of deformity and muscle activity
Studies have shown that the alignment of the knee in the coronal plane has a significant effect on the joint contact stress. However, gait analysis demonstrated that factors other than alignment contributed significantly to the outcome of corrective surgery. It was therefore hypothesized that …

Refinements in hierarchical phrase-based translation systems
… thesis alleviates this issue between the word alignment module and the grammar extraction and estimation module by considering richer statistics from word alignment models in extraction. We use alignment link and alignment phrase pair posterior probabilities for grammar extraction and …

Anatomy, Implant Selection and Placement Influence Spine Mechanics Associated with Total Disc Replacement
… modeling approach quantified shape and alignment variation of the lumbar spine by characterizing variability of shape and size of individual vertebra, relative alignment of relevant segments, and overall anatomy of the lumbar spine. Statistical shape models of single vertebrae revealed …

Examination of the relationship between organisational and facility management strategy and value added
… organisation shouldexamine that there is a misalignment between FM and strategic management, and the associate need to minimise this misalignment with the contribution of facility management and strategy professionals.The aim of this research was to develop an alignment model in order to …
