Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: tagging a source-language sentence with parts of speech tags; parsing, utilizing one or more processors, the tagged source-language sentence using a source language lexicalized parser to generate a parse tree for the sentence, where the source language lexicalized parser has been trained using source-language Treebank data; tagging a target-language sentence with parts of speech tags, where the target-language sentence is a translation of the source-language sentence; parsing, utilizing one or more of the processors, the tagged target-language sentence with a delexicalized parser to generate a set of k-best parse trees for the target-language sentence, where the delexicalized parser has been trained using source-language Treebank data; selecting the best target-language parse tree of the k-best parse trees that most closely aligns with the lexicalized parse tree of the source-language sentence; and updating a parameter vector of a target language lexicalized parser based upon the selected best target-language parse tree.
