Models for Inuktitut-English Word Alignment

This paper presents a set of techniques for bitext word alignment, optimized for a language pair with the characteristics of Inuktitut-English. The resulting systems exploit cross-lingual affinities at the sublexical level of syllables and substrings, as well as regular patterns of transliteration a...
