Quantifying Word Order Freedom in Dependency Corpora

Diachronic Trends in Word Order Freedom and Dependency Length in Dependency-Annotated Corpora of Latin and Ancient Greek

To Swap or Not to Swap? Exploiting Dependency Word Pairs for Reordering in Statistical Machine Translation

Reordering poses a major challenge in machine translation (MT) between two languages with significant differences in word order. In this paper, we present a novel reordering approach utilizing sparse features based on de…

Quantifying syntax similarity with a polynomial representation of dependency trees

We introduce a graph polynomial that distinguishes tree structures to represent dependency grammar and a measure based on the polynomial representation to quantify syntax similarity. The polynomial encodes accurate and c…

A Dependency-Based Neural Reordering Model for Statistical Machine Translation

In machine translation (MT) that involves translating between two languages with significant differences in word order, determining the correct word order of translated words is a major challenge. The dependency parse tr…

Examining the Relationship between Preordering and Word Order Freedom in Machine Translation
