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...

Improved Statistical Machine Translation Using Monolingually-Derived Paraphrases
Untranslated words still constitute a major problem for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), and current SMT systems are limited by the quantity of parallel training texts. Augm...

Random Restarts in Minimum Error Rate Training for Statistical Machine Translation
Och's (2003) minimum error rate training (MERT) procedure is the most commonly used method for training feature weights in statistical machine translation (SMT) models. The u...

Bayesian Semi-Supervised Chinese Word Segmentation for Statistical Machine Translation
Words in Chinese text are not naturally separated by delimiters, which poses a challenge to standard machine translation (MT) systems. In MT, the widely used approach is to apply ...
