Masaki Murata, Kiyotaka Uchimoto, Qing Ma +1
This paper describes experiments carried out using a variety of machine-learning methods, including the k-nearest neighborhood method that was used in a previous study, for the tra…
Correction of Errors in a Modality Corpus Used for Machine Translation by Using Machine-learning Method
Masaki Murata, Masao Utiyama, Kiyotaka Uchimoto +2
We performed corpus correction on a modality corpus for machine translation by using such machine-learning methods as the maximum-entropy method. We thus constructed a high-quality…
