— Serious efforts to develop computerized systems for natural language understanding and machine translation have taken place for more than half a century. Some successful system...
We propose a novel objective function for discriminatively tuning log-linear machine translation models. Our objective explicitly optimizes the BLEU score of expected n-gram count...
Tree Adjoining Grammars have well-known advantages, but are typically considered too difficult for practical systems. We demonstrate that, when done right, adjoining improves tran...
This paper describes a lexical trigger model for statistical machine translation. We present various methods using triplets incorporating long-distance dependencies that can go be...

This paper proposes a novel method for phrase-based statistical machine translation by using pivot language. To conduct translation between languages Lf and Le with a small biling...
