Hypothesis ranking and two-pass approaches for machine translation system combination
Given a number of machine translations of a source segment, the goal of system combination is to produce a new translation that has better quality than all of them. This paper des...

Source-Language Features and Maximum Correlation Training for Machine Translation Evaluation
We propose three new features for MT evaluation: source-sentence constrained n-gram precision, source-sentence reordering metrics, and discriminative unigram precision, as well as...
