Combining semantic and syntactic generalization in example-based machine translation.
In: The 15th conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT 2011), 30th - 31st of May 2011, Leuven, Belgium.
In this paper, we report our experiments in combining two EBMT systems that rely on generalized templates, Marclator and CMU-EBMT, on an English–German translation task. Our goal was to see whether a statistically significant improvement could be achieved over the individual performances of these two systems. We observed that this was not the case. However, our system consistently outperformed a lexical EBMT baseline system.
