Establishing value mappings using statistical models and user feedback
In this paper, we present a “value mapping” algorithm that does not rely on syntactic similarity or semantic interpretation of the values. The algorithm first constructs a st...

Distributed Word Clustering for Large Scale Class-Based Language Modeling in Machine Translation
In statistical language modeling, one technique to reduce the problematic effects of data sparsity is to partition the vocabulary into equivalence classes. In this paper we invest...

First- and Second-Order Expectation Semirings with Applications to Minimum-Risk Training on Translation Forests
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
