The paper describes a particular approach to multiengine machine translation (MEMT), where we make use of voted language models to selectively combine translation outputs from multiple off-theshelf MT systems. Experiments are done using large corpora from three distinct domains. The study found that the use of voted language models leads to an improved performance of MEMT systems.
This work demonstrates how neural network models (NNs) can be exploited toward resolving citation links in the scientific literature, which involves locating passages in the source paper the author had intended when citing the paper. We look at two kinds of models: triplet and binary. The triplet network model works by ranking potential candidates, using what is generally known as the triplet loss, while the binary model tackles the issue by turning it into a binary decision problem, i.e., by labeling a candidate as true or false, depending on how likely a target it is. Experiments are conducted using three datasets developed by the CL-SciSumm project from a large repository of scientific papers in the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) repository. The results find that NNs are extremely susceptible to how the input is represented: they perform better on inputs expressed in binary format than on those encoded using the TFIDF metric or neural embeddings of specific kinds. Furthermore, in response to a difficulty NNs and baselines faced in predicting the exact location of a target, we introduce the idea of approximately correct targets (ACTs) where the goal is to find a region which likely contains a true target rather than its exact location. We show that with the ACTs, NNs consistently outperform Ranking SVM and TFIDF on the aforementioned datasets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
