Hi Hieu,

I was just looking for technical details about particulars as a reference. No problem that there isn't one, thanks.

Subject: [Moses-support] -print-alignment-info option
To: moses-support <moses-support@mit.edu>

This is my first time using the '-print-alignment-info' option and I'm
getting some unexpected results.

In a set of five sentences, when using no option or
'-report-segmentation' or '-report-segmentation-enriched', all five
sentence translations are output with respective alignment info. With
the '-print-alignment-info' option, two sentence translations are output
as zero-length strings.

Is this what is meant when the help prompt says: "Word-to-word
alignments are taken from the phrase table if any"?

When no word-to-word alignment info is in the phrase table, I would
expect the translated output followed by " ||| " and then nothing.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anybody can point to any POS-tagged, NE-tagged or lemmatised Spanish (Spain) Corpora that they used in the past and is available for academic use?
Also, if anybody has some experience, I am very interested in learning about which tools are often used/preferred for large scale data processing for any of these three tasks on Spanish.

Thanks in advance,
Arda

TENTH WORKSHOP ON STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION
(co-located with EMNLP 2015, 17-18 September, Lisbon, Portugal)
http://www.statmt.org/wmt15/


*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

We invite the submission of scientific papers on topics related to MT.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* word-based, phrase-based, syntax-based SMT
* using comparable corpora for SMT
* incorporating linguistic information into SMT
* decoding
* system combination and selection
* error analysis
* manual and automatic methods for evaluating MT
* quality estimation of MT
* scaling MT to very large data sets
* neural networks in MT

SHARED TASKS

The workshop will feature five shared tasks:

* a translation task
* an automatic post-editing task
* a task to test automatic evaluation metrics
* a translation quality estimation task
* a tuning task

The tasks have been announced separately and more information is
available on the workshop website.

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions will consist of regular full papers of 6-10 pages, plus
additional pages for references, formatted following the ACL 2015
guidelines. In addition, shared task participants will be invited to
submit short papers (4-6 pages) describing their systems or their
evaluation metrics. Both submission and review processes will be
handled electronically.

We encourage individuals who are submitting research papers to
evaluate their approaches using the training resources provided by
this workshop and past workshops, so that their experiments can be
repeated by others using these publicly available corpora.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submissions:

Paper submission deadline: July 3rd, 2015
Notification of acceptance: July 25th, 2015
Camera-ready deadline: August 3rd, 2015

For shared task timetable, see website.
