Combining Word-Level and Character-Level Models for Machine Translation Between Closely-Related Languages
We propose several techniques for improving statistical machine translation between closely-related languages with scarce resources. We use character-level translation trained on ...

Feature-Rich Statistical Translation of Noun Phrases
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...

Unsupervised Search for the Optimal Segmentation for Statistical Machine Translation
We tackle the previously unaddressed problem of unsupervised determination of the optimal morphological segmentation for statistical machine translation (SMT) and propose a segmen...

Improved Models of Distortion Cost for Statistical Machine Translation
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...
