An Efficient Shift-Reduce Decoding Algorithm for Phrased-Based Machine Translation
In statistical machine translation, decoding without any reordering constraint is an NP-hard problem. Inversion Transduction Grammars (ITGs) exploit linguistic structure and can w...

Translation Model Pruning via Usage Statistics for Statistical Machine Translation
We describe a new pruning approach to remove phrase pairs from translation models of statistical machine translation systems. The approach applies the original translation system ...

Decomposability of Translation Metrics for Improved Evaluation and Efficient Algorithms
BLEU is the de facto standard for evaluation and development of statistical machine translation systems. We describe three real-world situations involving comparisons between diff...

Distributed Word Clustering for Large Scale Class-Based Language Modeling in Machine Translation
In statistical language modeling, one technique to reduce the problematic effects of data sparsity is to partition the vocabulary into equivalence classes. In this paper we invest...

Machine Translation by Triangulation: Making Effective Use of Multi-Parallel Corpora
Current phrase-based SMT systems perform poorly when using small training sets. This is a consequence of unreliable translation estimates and low coverage over source and target p...
