Machine-translated text plays an important role in modern life by smoothing communication from various communities using different languages. However, unnatural translation may lead to misunderstanding, a detector is thus needed to avoid the unfortunate mistakes. While a previous method measured the naturalness of continuous words using a N-gram language model, another method matched noncontinuous words across sentences but this method ignores such words in an individual sentence. We have developed a method matching similar words throughout the paragraph and estimating the paragraph-level coherence, that can identify machine-translated text. Experiment evaluates on 2000 English human-generated and 2000 English machine-translated paragraphs from German showing that the coherence-based method achieves high performance (accuracy = 87.0 ; equal error rate = 13.0 ). It is efficiently better than previous methods (best accuracy = 72.4 ; equal error rate = 29.7 ). Similar experiments on Dutch and Japanese obtain 89.2 and 97.9 accuracy, respectively. The results demonstrate the persistence of the proposed method in various languages with different resource levels.
@cite_4 inherited several above features including parsing tree depth and phrase type proportion. In addition, they investigated that the structure of human parsing is more balancing than that of machine one. They thus suggested some useful features: the ratio of right- compared to left-branching nodes, the number of left-branching nodes for noun phrases. The main limitation of parsing-based methods is that they just generate a parsing tree for an individual sentence. An integrated tree cannot be built for larger scope of multiple sentences such as paragraph or document.

We propose a weakly-supervised approach that takes image-sentence pairs as input and learns to visually ground (i.e., localize) arbitrary linguistic phrases, in the form of spatial attention masks. Specifically, the model is trained with images and their associated image-level captions, without any explicit region-to-phrase correspondence annotations. To this end, we introduce an end-to-end model which learns visual groundings of phrases with two types of carefully designed loss functions. In addition to the standard discriminative loss, which enforces that attended image regions and phrases are consistently encoded, we propose a novel structural loss which makes use of the parse tree structures induced by the sentences. In particular, we ensure complementarity among the attention masks that correspond to sibling noun phrases, and compositionality of attention masks among the children and parent phrases, as defined by the sentence parse tree. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on the Microsoft COCO and Visual Genome datasets.
