A phrase-based statistical machine translation approach — the alignment template approach — is described. This translation approach allows for general many-to-many relations between words. Thereby, the context of words is taken into account in the translation model, and local changes in word order

(GSAF) is a model that uses the distance, size, and economic resources of a community to calculate a statistically valid score measuring a community's relative access to services. This score is then translated into Zones of Relative Access to those services. Quantifying access to services is an objective way to compare the rurality of communities. This model was used in a study of 342 communities in British Columbia (Canada) that examined community acceptance of professionals such as teachers, nurses, and social workers. The objectivity provided by the GSAF model helped to determine that community acceptance took longer in more rural communities. Given differences in data from Statistics Canada and the Australian Census Bureau, the GSAF model is more appropriate for Australia than Canada, but the basic idea of measuring access to services is a premise that holds much potential for policymakers in Canada whenever it is necessary to compare communities.
