Abstract

In this article, we present a study we conducted to build a repository storing associations between simple syntactic dependency treelets in a source language and their corresponding phrases in a target language. We assess the usefulness of this resource in two different settings. First, we show that it improves upon a standard sub-sentential translation memory. Secondly, we observe improvements in translation quality when a standard statistical phrase-based translation engine is augmented with the ability to exploit such a repository.
