Minimum Error Rate Training in Statistical Machine Translation
Often, the training procedure for statistical machine translation models is based on maximum likelihood or related criteria. A general problem of this approach is that there is on...

Indirect-HMM-based Hypothesis Alignment for Combining Outputs from Machine Translation Systems
This paper presents a new hypothesis alignment method for combining outputs of multiple machine translation (MT) systems. An indirect hidden Markov model (IHMM) is proposed to add...

Mining the Correlation between Human and Automatic Evaluation at Sentence Level
Automatic evaluation metrics are fast and cost-effective measurements of the quality of a Machine Translation (MT) system. However, as humans are the end-user of MT output, human ...

Minimum Risk Annealing for Training Log-Linear Models
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...

Automatic Evaluation of Summaries Using N-gram Co-occurrence Statistics
Following the recent adoption by the machine translation community of automatic evaluation using the BLEU/NIST scoring process, we conduct an in-depth study of a similar idea for ...
