This chapter explores the application of discriminative learning to the problem of phrase selection in statistical machine translation (SMT). The chapter is organized as follows. Section 11.2 describes previous and current approaches to dedicated word selection. Section 11.3 describes the approach to discriminative phrase translation (DPT). It presents experimental results on the application of DPT models to the Spanish-to-English translation of European Parliament proceedings. In Section 11.4, prior to considering the full translation task, it measures the local accuracy of DPT classifiers at the isolated phrase translation task in which the goal is not to translate the whole sentence but only individual phrases without having to integrate their translations in the context of the target sentence. Section 11.5 tackles the full translation task while Section 11.6 summarizes the main conclusions.Less

This chapter reviews studies that have extended the use of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) to monitor first graders’ progress in reading. These studies show that by frequently assessing at-risk first graders, rates of progress can be estimated in a reliable and valid manner. Accordingly, it appears feasible to determine which at-risk students are not making sufficient progress and to offer them help with minimal delay. Progress monitoring with lists of words is the approach with the strongest empirical support, but important issues remain unresolved. It is notably crucial to determine the extent to which first graders’ scores are influenced by word selection and to develop guidelines for word selection.Less

The chapter provides an overview of Elyot’s compilation based upon his own comments, and then concentrates on the lexicographical principles that characterize his particular approach. His word selection, his treatment of homographs and their lexicographical arrangement are described. The study of his grammatical framework reveals the use of some terms which, according to the OED, are first found in his dictionary. His descriptive analyses of word-formations are highlighted and a detailed account is given of his sources.Less
