Abstract

ProAlign combines several different approaches in order to produce high quality word word alignments. Like competitive linking, ProAlign uses a constrained search to find high scoring alignments. Like EM-based methods, a probability model is used to rank possible alignments. The goal of this paper is to give a bird's eye view of the ProAlign system to encourage discussion and comparison.
