Bayesian Semi-Supervised Chinese Word Segmentation for Statistical Machine Translation
Words in Chinese text are not naturally separated by delimiters, which poses a challenge to standard machine translation (MT) systems. In MT, the widely used approach is to apply ...

Deciphering Foreign Language by Combining Language Models and Context Vectors
In this paper we show how to train statistical machine translation systems on reallife tasks using only non-parallel monolingual data from two languages. We present a modificatio...
