This paper presents a novel approach to language modeling for voice search based on the idea and method of statistical machine translation. We propose an n-gram based translation ...
Current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems are trained on sentencealigned and word-aligned parallel text collected from various sources. Translation model parameters ar...

We propose a novel objective function for discriminatively tuning log-linear machine translation models. Our objective explicitly optimizes the BLEU score of expected n-gram count...
This paper describes the Arabic broadcast transcription system fielded by IBM in the GALE Phase 3.5 machine translation evaluation. Key advances compared to our Phase 2.5 system ...
