Soft Syntactic Constraints for Hierarchical Phrased-Based Translation
In adding syntax to statistical MT, there is a tradeoff between taking advantage of linguistic analysis, versus allowing the model to exploit linguistically unmotivated mappings l...

Generating Complex Morphology for Machine Translation
We present a novel method for predicting inflected word forms for generating morphologically rich languages in machine translation. We utilize a rich set of syntactic and morphol...

Applying Morphology Generation Models to Machine Translation
We improve the quality of statistical machine translation (SMT) by applying models that predict word forms from their stems using extensive morphological and syntactic information...

Lexicalized Phonotactic Word Segmentation
This paper presents a new unsupervised algorithm (WordEnds) for inferring word boundaries from transcribed adult conversations. Phone ngrams before and after observed pauses are u...

Beyond Log-Linear Models: Boosted Minimum Error Rate Training for N-best Re-ranking
Current re-ranking algorithms for machine translation rely on log-linear models, which have the potential problem of underfitting the training data. We present BoostedMERT, a nove...
