Connectionist F-structure transfer

A traditional transfer system in machine translation maps between language structures and an intermediate representation. Our connectionist transfer system maps from f-structures of one language to f-structures of another language. It encodes the intermediate representation implicitly in neural networks' activation patterns. The system is learnable, therefore it does not need any e ort in handcrafting the representation and mapping rules. Experiments show the system has good scalability and generalizability performance.
