Statistical Machine Translation with Word- and Sentence-Aligned Parallel Corpora
The parameters of statistical translation models are typically estimated from sentence-aligned parallel corpora. We show that significant improvements in the alignment and transla...

Demonstration of Joshua: An Open Source Toolkit for Parsing-based Machine Translation
We describe Joshua (Li et al., 2009a)1, an open source toolkit for statistical machine translation. Joshua implements all of the algorithms required for translation via synchronou...

Segmentation and alignment of parallel text for statistical machine translation
We address the problem of extracting bilingual chunk pairs from parallel text to create training sets for statistical machine translation. We formulate the problem in terms of a s...

Why word error rate is not a good metric for speech recognizer training for the speech translation task?
Speech translation (ST) is an enabling technology for cross-lingual oral communication. A ST system consists of two major components: an automatic speech recognizer (ASR) and a ma...

First- and Second-Order Expectation Semirings with Applications to Minimum-Risk Training on Translation Forests
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
