This paper proposes an end-to-end process analysis template with replicable measures to evaluate the filtering performance of a Scan-OCR-MT system. Preliminary results across three language-specific FALCon systems show that, with one exception, the ...

The importance of machine translation (MT) in the stream of text-handling processes has become readily apparent in many current production settings as well as in research programs such as the Translingual Information Detection, Extraction, and ...

A growing trend in Machine Translation (MT) is to view MT as an embedded part of an overall process instead of an end result itself. For the last four years, we have fielded (primarily) Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) MT systems in an operational ...

We describe a system which supports English text queries searching for Mandarin Chinese spoken documents. This is one of the first attempts to tightly couple speech recognition with machine translation technologies for cross-media and cross-language ...

We report on a small study undertaken to demonstrate the feasibility of combining portable information extraction with MT in order to support translingual information access. After describing the proposed system's usage scenario and system design, we ...

We describe an approach to Machine Translation of transcribed speech, as found in closed captions. We discuss how the colloquial nature and input format peculiarities of closed captions are dealt with in a pre-processing pipeline that prepares the input ...

This paper describes the embedding of a statistical translation system within a text editor to produce TRANSTYPE, a system that watches over the user as he or she types a translation and repeatedly suggests completions for the text already entered. This ...

Stochastic finite-state models are efficiently learnable from data, effective for decoding and are associated with a calculus for composing models which allows for tight integration of constraints from various levels of language processing. In this ...
