We propose a novel approach to crosslingual language model (LM) adaptation based on bilingual Latent Semantic Analysis (bLSA). A bLSA model is introduced which enables latent topi...
This paper presents a maximum entropy machine translation system using a minimal set of translation blocks (phrase-pairs). While recent phrase-based statistical machine translatio...
This paper proposes a variation of synchronous grammar based on the formalism of context-free grammar by generalizing the first component of productions that models the source text...

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...
