Many reordering approaches have been proposed for the statistical machine translation (SMT) system. However, the information about the type of source sentence is ignored in the pr...
We address the problem of training the free parameters of a statistical machine translation system. We show significant improvements over a state-of-the-art minimum error rate tr...
Current statistical machine translation systems usually extract rules from bilingual corpora annotated with 1-best alignments. They are prone to learn noisy rules due to alignment...
Large-scale discriminative machine translation promises to further the state-of-the-art, but has failed to deliver convincing gains over current heuristic frequency count systems....
We present an approach to query expansion in answer retrieval that uses Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) techniques to bridge the lexical gap between questions and answers. S...
