  1. Single Malt or Blended? A Study in Multilingual Parser Optimization (2007 · 65 citations)
    This paper describes how the Växjö/Uppsala team adapted MaltParser to the ten languages of the CoNLL 2007 multilingual dependency parsing shared task: Arabic, Basque, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, English, Greek, Hungarian, Italian and Turkish. The work proceeded in two stages.
  2. Improving word alignment for low resource languages using English monolingual SRL (2016 · 5 citations)
    The paper addresses weak word alignment in statistical MT when little parallel data exists. Standard aligners such as GIZA++ (IBM/HMM models) and plain ITG learners depend largely on memorizing frequent patterns, which fails when data is sparse. The authors bias bracketing ITG (BITG) induction with semantic role…
