Two Case Studies on Translating Pronouns in a Deep Syntax Framework

Abstract

We focus on improving the translation of the English pronoun it and English reflexive pronouns in an English-Czech syntax-based machine translation framework. Our evaluation both from intrinsic and extrinsic perspective shows that adding specialized syntactic and coreference-related features leads to an improvement in trans- lation quality.
