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...

Boosting Statistical Machine Translation by Lemmatization and Linear Interpolation
Data sparseness is one of the factors that degrade statistical machine translation (SMT). Existing work has shown that using morphosyntactic information is an effective solution t...

Statistical Machine Translation for Query Expansion in Answer Retrieval
We present an approach to query expansion in answer retrieval that uses Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) techniques to bridge the lexical gap between questions and answers. S...

A Discriminative Global Training Algorithm for Statistical MT
This paper presents a novel training algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the global scoring...
