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...

Typical statistical machine translation systems are trained with static parallel corpora. Here we account for scenarios with a continuous incoming stream of parallel training data...

Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) is an effective means to estimate the feature function weights of a linear model such that an automated evaluation criterion for measuring syste...

In this paper, we present a novel global reordering model that can be incorporated into standard phrase-based statistical machine translation. Unlike previous local reordering mod...
Syntactic reordering approaches are an effective method for handling word-order differences between source and target languages in statistical machine translation (SMT) systems. T...
