Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses including computer program products are provided for encoding and using a language model. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes generating a compact language model, including receiving a collection of n-grams, each n-gram having one or more associated parameter values, determining a fingerprint for each n-gram of the collection of n-grams, identifying locations in an array for each n-gram using a plurality of hash functions, and encoding the one or more parameter values associated with each n-gram in the identified array locations as a function of corresponding array values and the fingerprint for the n-gram.

US Classification:

704 2, 704 9

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for decompounding compound words are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a token that includes a sequence of characters, identifying two or more candidate sub-words that are constituents of the token, and one or more morphological operations that are required to transform the sub-words into the token, where at least one of the morphological operations involves a use of a non-dictionary word, and determining a cost associated with each sub-word and a cost associated with each morphological operation.

Abstract:

Embodiments generally relate to machine translation. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a sentence of a source language. The method also includes parsing the sentence into words. The method also includes determining scores for the words, where each score is associated with features of each respective word. The method also includes reordering the words based on the scores.
