1 BabelNet has been applied in many natural language processing tasks, such as multilingual lexicon extraction, crosslingual word-sense disambiguation, annotation, and information extraction, all with good performance (Elbedweihy et al., 2013;Jadidinejad, 2013;Navigli et al., 2013;Ehrmann et al., 2014;Moro et al., 2014).
to the best of our knowledge, to date there is no comprehensive work applying BabelNet knowledge to SMT tasks.
