We present a novel translation model based on tree-to-string alignment template (TAT) which describes the alignment between a source parse tree and a target string. A TAT is capab...
Given multiple translations of the same source sentence, how to combine them to produce a translation that is better than any single system output? We propose a hierarchical syste...
A principal weakness of conventional (i.e., non-hierarchical) phrase-based statistical machine translation is that it can only exploit continuous phrases. In this paper, we extend...
We propose a domain specific model for statistical machine translation. It is wellknown that domain specific language models perform well in automatic speech recognition. We show ...
State-of-the-art communication standards make extensive use of Turbo codes. The complex and power consuming designs that currently implement the turbo decoder expose the need for ...
