Variational Decoding for Statistical Machine Translation
Statistical models in machine translation exhibit spurious ambiguity. That is, the probability of an output string is split among many distinct derivations (e.g., trees or segment...

A Discriminative Syntactic Word Order Model for Machine Translation
We present a global discriminative statistical word order model for machine translation. Our model combines syntactic movement and surface movement information, and is discriminat...

Statistical Phrase-Based Translation
We propose a new phrase-based translation model and decoding algorithm that enables us to evaluate and compare several, previously proposed phrase-based translation models. Within...

Better Hypothesis Testing for Statistical Machine Translation: Controlling for Optimizer Instability
In statistical machine translation, a researcher seeks to determine whether some innovation (e.g., a new feature, model, or inference algorithm) improves translation quality in co...
