A Statistical Model for Domain-Independent Text Segmentation
We propose a statistical method that finds the maximum-probability segmentation of a given text. This method does not require training data because it estimates probabilities from...

A Comparative Study on Reordering Constraints in Statistical Machine Translation
In statistical machine translation, the generation of a translation hypothesis is computationally expensive. If arbitrary wordreorderings are permitted, the search problem is NP-h...
