Cognates Can Improve Statistical Translation Models
We report results of experiments aimed at improving the translation quality by incorporating the cognate information into translation models. The results confirm that the cognate...

Effective Phrase Translation Extraction from Alignment Models
Phrase level translation models are effective in improving translation quality by addressing the problem of local re-ordering across language boundaries. Methods that attempt to f...

Minimum Error Rate Training in Statistical Machine Translation
Often, the training procedure for statistical machine translation models is based on maximum likelihood or related criteria. A general problem of this approach is that there is on...

Using a Bilingual Context in Word-Based Statistical Machine Translation
Abstract. In statistical machine translation, phrase-based translation (PBT) models lead to a significantly better translation quality over single-word-based (SWB) models. PBT mode...

Hierarchical System Combination for Machine Translation
Given multiple translations of the same source sentence, how to combine them to produce a translation that is better than any single system output? We propose a hierarchical syste...

A Systematic Comparison of Phrase-Based, Hierarchical and Syntax-Augmented Statistical MT
Probabilistic synchronous context-free grammar (PSCFG) translation models define weighted transduction rules that represent translation and reordering operations via nonterminal s...

A Maximum Entropy Approach to Syntactic Translation Rule Filtering
In this paper we will present a maximum entropy filter for the translation rules of a statistical machine translation system based on tree transducers. This filter can be success...
