Factored Statistical Machine Translation extends the Phrase Based SMT model by allowing each word to be a vector of factors. Experiments have shown effectiveness of many factors, ...
Recent work in the field of machine translation (MT) evaluation suggests that sentence level evaluation based on machine learning (ML) can outperform the standard metrics such as B...
