Exploiting syntactic relationships in a phrase-based decoder: an exploration
Phrase-based decoding is conceptually simple and straightforward to implement, at the cost of drastically oversimplified reordering models. Syntactically aware models make it pos...

Improve syntax-based translation using deep syntactic structures
This paper introduces deep syntactic structures to syntax-based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). We use a Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) parser to obtain the de...

Monte Carlo techniques for phrase-based translation
Recent advances in statistical machine translation have used approximate beam search for NP-complete inference within probabilistic translation models. We present an alternative ap...

Metrics for MT evaluation: evaluating reordering
Translating between dissimilar languages requires an account of the use of divergent word orders when expressing the same semantic content. Reordering poses a serious problem for s...

Metric and reference factors in minimum error rate training
In Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT), BLEU is often used as the error function, despite the fact that it has been shown to have a lower correlation with human judgment than other...
