Long distance word reordering is a major challenge in statistical machine translation research. Previous work has shown using source syntactic trees is an effective way to tackle ...
We present a quasi-synchronous dependency grammar (Smith and Eisner, 2006) for machine translation in which the leaves of the tree are phrases rather than words as in previous wor...
Current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems are trained on sentencealigned and word-aligned parallel text collected from various sources. Translation model parameters ar...
