Statistical Translation Alignment with Compositionality Constraints

This article presents a method for aligning words between translations, that imposes a compositionality constraint on alignments produced with statistical translation models. Experiments conducted within the WPT-03 shared task on word alignment demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
