Improving the IBM Alignment Models Using Variational Bayes
Bayesian approaches have been shown to reduce the amount of overfitting that occurs when running the EM algorithm, by placing prior probabilities on the model parameters. We appl...

Estimation of statistical translation models based on mutual information for ad hoc information retrieval
As a principled approach to capturing semantic relations of words in information retrieval, statistical translation models have been shown to outperform simple document language m...

Distortion Models for Statistical Machine Translation
In this paper, we argue that n-gram language models are not sufficient to address word reordering required for Machine Translation. We propose a new distortion model that can be u...

Combining Phrase-Based and Template-Based Alignment Models in Statistical Translation
In statistical machine translation, single-word based models have an important deficiency; they do not take contextual information into account for the translation decision. A poss...
