Lattice-based Minimum Error Rate Training for Statistical Machine Translation
Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) is an effective means to estimate the feature function weights of a linear model such that an automated evaluation criterion for measuring syste...

Random Restarts in Minimum Error Rate Training for Statistical Machine Translation
Och's (2003) minimum error rate training (MERT) procedure is the most commonly used method for training feature weights in statistical machine translation (SMT) models. The u...

Akamon: An Open Source Toolkit for Tree/Forest-Based Statistical Machine Translation
We describe Akamon, an open source toolkit for tree and forest-based statistical machine translation (Liu et al., 2006; Mi et al., 2008; Mi and Huang, 2008). Akamon implements all...

Improved Models of Distortion Cost for Statistical Machine Translation
The distortion cost function used in Mosesstyle machine translation systems has two flaws. First, it does not estimate the future cost of known required moves, thus increasing sea...
