The distortion cost function used in Mosesstyle machine translation systems has two flaws. First, it does not estimate the future cost of known required moves, thus increasing sea...

This paper presents a novel online relevant set algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the glob...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an approach to deal with the ChineseEnglish cross-language image retrieval problem. Text-based image retrieval and query translation methods were...
This paper presents a maximum entropy machine translation system using a minimal set of translation blocks (phrase-pairs). While recent phrase-based statistical machine translatio...
As a principled approach to capturing semantic relations of words in information retrieval, statistical translation models have been shown to outperform simple document language m...
