Word-aligned corpora have been found to be an excellent source of translation-related knowledge. We present a statistical model for computing the probability of an alignment given a sentence pair. This model allows easy integration of context-speciļ¬c features. Our experiments show that this model can be an effective tool for improving an existing word alignment.}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/a-probability-model-to-improve-word-alignment/}, pages = {88-95}, edition = {Proceedings of the 41st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics}, }
