We use this inference mechanism to predict the adequacy of MT system output at the segment level compared to a reference translation. Machine Translation
Given a chunk of text, separate it into segments each of which is devoted to a topic, and identify the topic of the segment. • Stanford • Link : http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/tmt/tmt-0.3/ • Downloadable (written in java) • English , Arabic, Chinese version 14.7MB, • Features • Import and manipulate text from cells in Excel and other spreadsheets. • Train topic models (LDA and Labeled LDA) to create summaries of the text. • Select parameters (such as the number of topics) via a data-driven process. • Generate rich Excel-compatible outputs for tracking word usage across topics, time, and other groupings of data. Topic segmentation
Many words have more than one meaning; we have to select the meaning which makes the most sense in context. For this problem, we are typically given a list of words and associated word senses, e.g. from a dictionary or from an online resource such as WordNet. • WordNet::SenseRelate • Link : http://senserelate.sourceforge.net/ • Two different word sense disambiguation algorithms, • WordNet-SenseRelate-AllWords :Assigns a sense to each word in a text. • WordNet-SenseRelate-TargetWord : Assigns a sense to a given target word. • WordNet-SenseRelate-WordToSet : Assigns the meaning to a word that is most related to a given set of words. • They carry out word sense disambiguation by measuring the semantic similarity between a word and its neighbors. In particular, a word is assigned the sense that is most related to its neighbors. • GWSD is a system for unsupervised all-words graph-based word sense disambiguation • Link : http://lit.csci.unt.edu/~rada/downloads/GWSD/GWSD.1.0.tar.gz Word sense disambiguation
