Word Alignment -- Progress and Results
Latest best results
Alternative model comparison
hmm = lightweight direct alignment method (in our ACL/TSD article)
gizainter = GIZA++, intersection – applied to hypotheses+references directly
gizadiag = GIZA++, grow-diag – applied to hypotheses+references directly
czenginter = align source+CzEng to reference+CzEng, and source+CzEng to hypotheses+CzEng with GIZA++, intersection, extract hypothesis-reference alignments from there (“Dan's method”)
czengdiag = same, but with GIZA++ grow-diag

TODOs
- test alignment with synonym detection (cz_wn required) = separating
lex::anddisam:: - order evaluation
- a lot of background research
- currently finds misplaced items, but their shift distances are off
- to fix – for every misplaced token
- if it (and only it) were to be moved in the original permutation, what would be the best place?
- evaluate with nr. of intersections
- try domain adaptation for word alignment, EMNLP 2011 paper
- comb and comment the code
- add help files
- integrate with the rest of Addicter
- approach applicable to learner's corpora
- see Anne Lüdelig, TLT9
- adapt Addicter to Sara's program
- alternative to reference-based evaluation: “Inconsistencies in Penn parsing”, M. Dickinson
