TODO

• Do LER in/out domain testing for the en-es setup with news commentary.
• Do BLEU in/out domain testing for the en-es setup with news commentary.
• mk-en: why is TLM LER/BLEU so much better ?
  • (partial) answer: 0-context rules (e.g. defaults) not applying properly. Fixed by running in series. This "solves" the LER issue.
  • (partial) answer: preposition selection is much better. We could try running with ling-default preps.
• Do pairwise bootstrap resampling for each of best baseline + best rules
• why do breton numbers for monolingual rules not approach TLM ?
• why do eu-es rules not improve over freq ?
  • (partial) answer: some rules do not apply because of tag wankery. See line #129774 in the test corpus. Need to define better how tags work. Perhaps only include tags where ambiguous ?

LER

$c$ is the "crispiness" ratio, the amount of times an alternative translation is seen in a given context compared to the default translation. So, a $c$ of 2.0 means that the translation appears twice as frequently as the default.

Learning monolingually

Setup:

• SL side of the training corpus
• All possibilities translated and scored
• Absolute winners taken
• Rules generated by counting ngrams in the same way as with the parallel corpus, only no alignment needed as it works like an annotated corpus.
