We present a set of algorithms that enable us to translate natural language sentences by exploiting both a translation memory and a statistical-based translation model. Our result...
This paper describes the right-to-left decoding method, which translates an input string by generating in right-to-left direction. In addition, presented is the bidirectional deco...
The world wide web is a natural setting for cross-lingual information retrieval. The European Union is a typical example of a multilingual scenario, where multiple users have to de...
This paper presents a study of three statistical query translation models that use different units of translation. We begin with a review of a word-based translation model that us...
We discuss different strategies for smoothing the phrasetable in Statistical MT, and give results over a range of translation settings. We show that any type of smoothing is a bet...
