The conditional phrase translation probabilities constitute the principal components of phrase-based machine translation systems. These probabilities are estimated using a heurist...
Short Messaging Service (SMS) texts behave quite differently from normal written texts and have some very special phenomena. To translate SMS texts, traditional approaches model s...
In statistical machine translation, single-word based models have an important deficiency; they do not take contextual information into account for the translation decision. A poss...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
Traditional 1-best translation pipelines suffer a major drawback: the errors of 1best outputs, inevitably introduced by each module, will propagate and accumulate along the pipeli...
