Phrasal segmentation models define a mapping from the words of a sentence to sequences of translatable phrases. We discuss the estimation of these models from large quantities of ...
Most statistical machine translation systems employ a word-based alignment model. In this paper we demonstrate that word-based alignment is a major cause of translation errors. We...
Although Machine Translation (MT) is a very active research field which is receiving an increasing amount of attention from the research community, the results that current MT sys...
The performance of machine translation systems varies greatly depending on the source and target languages involved. Determining the contribution of different characteristics of l...
Machine translation benefits from two types of decoding techniques: consensus decoding over multiple hypotheses under a single model and system combination over hypotheses from di...
