Tree based translation models are a compelling means of integrating linguistic information into machine translation. Syntax can inform lexical selection and reordering choices and...
This paper presents a maximum entropy machine translation system using a minimal set of translation blocks (phrase-pairs). While recent phrase-based statistical machine translatio...
An efficient decoding algorithm is a crucial element of any statistical machine translation system. Some researchers have noted certain similarities between SMT decoding and the f...

This paper presents an attempt at building a large scale distributed composite language model that simultaneously accounts for local word lexical information, mid-range sentence s...
This paper presents a novel training algorithm for a linearly-scored block sequence translation model. The key component is a new procedure to directly optimize the global scoring...
