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...

We propose a novel objective function for discriminatively tuning log-linear machine translation models. Our objective explicitly optimizes the BLEU score of expected n-gram count...
This paper describes an efficient method to extract large n-best lists from a word graph produced by a statistical machine translation system. The extraction is based on the k sh...
For many years, statistical machine translation relied on generative models to provide bilingual word alignments. In 2005, several independent efforts showed that discriminative m...
Many recent advances in complex domains such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) have taken a discriminative approach in conjunction with the global application of structural and...
