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...

In this paper, we argue that n-gram language models are not sufficient to address word reordering required for Machine Translation. We propose a new distortion model that can be u...
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...
This paper presents a novel online relevant set algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the glob...
This paper presents a direct word reordering model with novel syntax-based features for statistical machine translation. Reordering models address the problem of reordering source...
