We propose several techniques for improving statistical machine translation between closely-related languages with scarce resources. We use character-level translation trained on ...
We define noun phrase translation as a subtask of machine translation. This enables us to build a dedicated noun phrase translation subsystem that improves over the currently bes...
We tackle the previously unaddressed problem of unsupervised determination of the optimal morphological segmentation for statistical machine translation (SMT) and propose a segmen...
We present a constituent parsing-based reordering technique that improves the performance of the state-of-the-art English-to-Japanese phrase translation system that includes disto...
The distortion cost function used in Mosesstyle machine translation systems has two flaws. First, it does not estimate the future cost of known required moves, thus increasing sea...
