We discuss the efficiency/coverage trade-offs available in EBL and introduce the techniques we use to increase coverage while maintaining a high level of space and time efficiency. Our performance results indicate that this approach is effective.12 pages, 3 figures, To appear in Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theoretical and Methodological Issues in Machine TranslationComputation and LanguageJ.5text
