Hierarchical phrase-based models provide a powerful mechanism to capture non-local phrase reorderings for statistical machine translation (SMT). However, many phrase reorderings a...
We present an adaptation technique for statistical machine translation, which applies the well-known Bayesian learning paradigm for adapting the model parameters. Since state-of-t...
