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...
Minimum Error Rate Training is the algorithm for log-linear model parameter training most used in state-of-the-art Statistical Machine Translation systems. In its original formula...
Often, the training procedure for statistical machine translation models is based on maximum likelihood or related criteria. A general problem of this approach is that there is on...
Free style Chinese handwriting recognition continues to pose a challenge to researchers due to the variety of Chinese writing styles. To recognize handwritten characters in an onl...
In this paper, we follow the minimum error principle for acoustic modeling and formulate error objectives in insertion, deletion, and substitution separately for minimization duri...
