Statistical Significance Tests for Machine Translation Evaluation
If two translation systems differ differ in performance on a test set, can we trust that this indicates a difference in true system quality? To answer this question, we describe b...

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 ...

Towards a Unified Approach to Memory- and Statistical-Based Machine Translation
We present a set of algorithms that enable us to translate natural language sentences by exploiting both a translation memory and a statistical-based translation model. Our result...

Better Hypothesis Testing for Statistical Machine Translation: Controlling for Optimizer Instability
In statistical machine translation, a researcher seeks to determine whether some innovation (e.g., a new feature, model, or inference algorithm) improves translation quality in co...
