  • Extracting treelet translation pairs
    Patent number: 8082143
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a decoder receives a dependency tree as a source language input and accesses a set of statistical models that produce outputs combined in a log linear framework. The decoder also accesses a table of treelet translation pairs and returns a target dependency tree based on the source dependency tree, based on access to the table of treelet translation pairs, and based on the application of the statistical models.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2011
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
    Inventors: Arul A. Menezes, Christopher B. Quirk, Colin A. Cherry
  • Machine translation system incorporating syntactic dependency treelets into a statistical framework
    Patent number: 7698124
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a decoder receives a dependency tree as a source language input and accesses a set of statistical models that produce outputs combined in a log linear framework. The decoder also accesses a table of treelet translation pairs and returns a target dependency tree based on the source dependency tree, based on access to the table of treelet translation pairs, and based on the application of the statistical models.
