We propose a backoff model for phrasebased machine translation that translates unseen word forms in foreign-language text by hierarchical morphological abstractions at the word an...
We describe a class of translation model in which a set of input variants encoded as a context-free forest is translated using a finitestate translation model. The forest structur...
Recent developments on hybrid systems that combine rule-based machine translation (RBMT) systems with statistical machine translation (SMT) generally neglect the fact that RBMT sy...
Hierarchical phrase-based translation (Hiero, (Chiang, 2005)) provides an attractive framework within which both short- and longdistance reorderings can be addressed consistently ...
