This paper revisits the pivot language approach for machine translation. First, we investigate three different methods for pivot translation. Then we employ a hybrid method combin...
Recently system combination has been shown to be an effective way to improve translation quality over single machine translation systems. In this paper, we present a simple and ef...
The distortion cost function used in Mosesstyle machine translation systems has two flaws. First, it does not estimate the future cost of known required moves, thus increasing sea...

We present a global discriminative statistical word order model for machine translation. Our model combines syntactic movement and surface movement information, and is discriminat...
This paper presents collaborative decoding (co-decoding), a new method to improve machine translation accuracy by leveraging translation consensus between multiple machine transla...
