Statistical Dictionary

This software translates a text using an statistical dictionary.

Dependencies

To generate IBM Model 1 alignments, mgiza is needed.

Usage

Alignments

IBM1Alignments.sh source_file target_file dest_dir

Where:

• source_file is the source from the parallel training data.
• target_file is the target from the parallel training data.
• dest_dir is the directory in which to save the alignments.

Note: the script expects a variable ($GIZA) pointing towards mgiza's bin directory.

Text translation

SD.py -t text_file -a alignments

Where:

• text_file if the text to translate.
• alignments is the file created at the alignments step (dest_dir/alignmetns).
