| Alignment Methods | morphological analyzers to normalize or split the sentence into morpheme streams (Corston-Oliver and Gamon, 2004). |
| Introduction | A myriad of methods have been proposed to handle each of these phenomena individually, including morphological analysis , stemming, compound breaking, number regularization, optimizing word segmentation, and transliteration, which we outline in more detail in Section 2. |
| Related Work on Data Sparsity in SMT | Previous works have attempted to handle morphology, decompounding and regularization through lemmatization, morphological analysis , or unsuperVised techniques (NieBen and Ney, 2000; Brown, 2002; Lee, 2004; Goldwater and McClosky, 2005; Talbot and Osborne, 2006; Mermer and Akin, 2010; Macherey et al., 2011). |
| Related Work on Data Sparsity in SMT | unified framework, requiring no language specific tools such as morphological analyzers or word seg-menters. |
