Abstract

In this paper we describe syntactic closures. Syntactic closures address the scoping problems that arise when writing macros. We discuss some issues raised by introducing syntactic closures into the macro expansion interface, and we compare syntactic closures with other approaches. Included is a complete implementation.

Decoding with syntactic and non-syntactic phrases in a syntax-based machine translation system
SSST '09: Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Syntax and Structure in Statistical Translation

A key concern in building syntax-based machine translation systems is how to improve coverage by incorporating more traditional phrase-based SMT phrase pairs that do not correspond to syntactic constituents. At the same time, it is desirable to include ...
Syntactic parsing of clause constituents for statistical machine translation

The clause is considered as the basic unit of grammar in linguistics, which is a structure between a chunk and a sentence. Clause constituents, therefore, are one important kind of linguistically valid syntactic phrases. This paper adopts the CRFs model ...
