The tree sequence based translation model allows the violation of syntactic boundaries in a rule to capture non-syntactic phrases, where a tree sequence is a contiguous sequence o...
We present a framework where auxiliary MT systems are used to provide lexical predictions to a main SMT system. In this work, predictions are obtained by means of pivoting via aux...
Reordering is a difficult task in translating between widely different languages such as Japanese and English. We employ the postordering framework proposed by (Sudoh et al., 201...
This paper proposes a new approach to phrase rescoring for statistical machine translation (SMT). A set of novel features capturing the translingual equivalence between a source a...
We present Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding over translation lattices that compactly encode a huge number of translation hypotheses. We describe conditions on the loss function t...
