This paper presents a novel training algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the global scoring...
This paper describes an algorithm for exact decoding of phrase-based translation models, based on Lagrangian relaxation. The method recovers exact solutions, with certificates of...
Abstract. Professional translators of technical documents often use Translation Memory (TM) systems in order to capitalize on the repetitions frequently observed in these documents...
Hierarchical phrase-based machine translation can capture global reordering with synchronous context-free grammar, but has little ability to evaluate the correctness of word order...
We describe Akamon, an open source toolkit for tree and forest-based statistical machine translation (Liu et al., 2006; Mi et al., 2008; Mi and Huang, 2008). Akamon implements all...
