Online Large-Margin Training of Syntactic and Structural Translation Features
Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...

Attacking Decipherment Problems Optimally with Low-Order N-gram Models
We introduce a method for solving substitution ciphers using low-order letter n-gram models. This method enforces global constraints using integer programming, and it guarantees t...
