Deciphering Foreign Language by Combining Language Models and Context Vectors
In this paper we show how to train statistical machine translation systems on reallife tasks using only non-parallel monolingual data from two languages. We present a modificatio...

A Topic Similarity Model for Hierarchical Phrase-based Translation
Previous work using topic model for statistical machine translation (SMT) explore topic information at the word level. However, SMT has been advanced from word-based paradigm to p...

Watermarking the Outputs of Structured Prediction with an application in Statistical Machine Translation
We propose a general method to watermark and probabilistically identify the structured outputs of machine learning algorithms. Our method is robust to local editing operations and...

Training a Parser for Machine Translation Reordering
We propose a simple training regime that can improve the extrinsic performance of a parser, given only a corpus of sentences and a way to automatically evaluate the extrinsic qual...

No free lunch: brute force vs. locality-sensitive hashing for cross-lingual pairwise similarity
This work explores the problem of cross-lingual pairwise similarity, where the task is to extract similar pairs of documents across two different languages. Solutions to this pro...

Given Bilingual Terminology in Statistical Machine Translation: MWE-Sensitve Word Alignment and Hierarchical Pitman-Yor Process-
This paper considers a scenario when we are given almost perfect knowledge about bilingual terminology in terms of a test corpus in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). When the...

Better Hypothesis Testing for Statistical Machine Translation: Controlling for Optimizer Instability
In statistical machine translation, a researcher seeks to determine whether some innovation (e.g., a new feature, model, or inference algorithm) improves translation quality in co...
