Abstract

In this paper we investigate techniques to enrich Statisti- cal Machine Translation (SMT) with automatic deep linguistic tools and evaluate with a deeper manual linguistic analysis. Using English–German IT-domain translation as a case-study, we exploit parallel treebanks for syntax-aware phrase extraction and interface with Linked Open Data (LOD) for extracting named entity translations in a post decoding frame- work. We conclude with linguistic phenomena-driven human evaluation of our forays into enhancing the syntactic and semantic constraints on a phrase-based SMT system
