Fast and Scalable Decoding with Language Model Look-Ahead for Phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation
In this work we present two extensions to the well-known dynamic programming beam search in phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT), aiming at increased efficiency of ...

Training a Parser for Machine Translation Reordering
We propose a simple training regime that can improve the extrinsic performance of a parser, given only a corpus of sentences and a way to automatically evaluate the extrinsic qual...

Adjoining Tree-to-String Translation
We introduce synchronous tree adjoining grammars (TAG) into tree-to-string translation, which converts a source tree to a target string. Without reconstructing TAG derivations exp...

Translation Model Generalization using Probability Averaging for Machine Translation
Previous methods on improving translation quality by employing multiple SMT models usually carry out as a secondpass decision procedure on hypotheses from multiple systems using e...

A Discriminative Latent Variable-Based "DE" Classifier for Chinese-English SMT
Syntactic reordering on the source-side is an effective way of handling word order differences. The (DE) construction is a flexible and ubiquitous syntactic structure in Chinese w...

Facilitating Translation Using Source Language Paraphrase Lattices
For resource-limited language pairs, coverage of the test set by the parallel corpus is an important factor that affects translation quality in two respects: 1) out of vocabulary ...
