Feasibility of Human-in-the-loop Minimum Error Rate Training
Minimum error rate training (MERT) involves choosing parameter values for a machine translation (MT) system that maximize performance on a tuning set as measured by an automatic e...

Beyond Log-Linear Models: Boosted Minimum Error Rate Training for N-best Re-ranking
Current re-ranking algorithms for machine translation rely on log-linear models, which have the potential problem of underfitting the training data. We present BoostedMERT, a nove...

A Systematic Comparison of Training Criteria for Statistical Machine Translation
We address the problem of training the free parameters of a statistical machine translation system. We show significant improvements over a state-of-the-art minimum error rate tr...

Discriminative feature weighting using MCE training for topic identification of spoken audio recordings
In this paper we investigate a discriminative approach to feature weighting for topic identification using minimum classification error (MCE) training. Our approach learns featu...

A new look at discriminative training for hidden Markov models
ct 7 Discriminative training for hidden Markov models (HMMs) has been a central theme in speech recognition research for many years. 8 One most popular technique is minimum classi...
