Generalizing Local and Non-Local Word-Reordering Patterns for Syntax-Based Machine Translation
Syntactic word reordering is essential for translations across different grammar structures between syntactically distant languagepairs. In this paper, we propose to embed local a...

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...

Factoring Synchronous Grammars by Sorting
Synchronous Context-Free Grammars (SCFGs) have been successfully exploited as translation models in machine translation applications. When parsing with an SCFG, computational comp...

Efficient Minimum Error Rate Training and Minimum Bayes-Risk Decoding for Translation Hypergraphs and Lattices
Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) and Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding are used in most current state-of-theart Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems. The algorithms wer...
