We propose several techniques for improving statistical machine translation between closely-related languages with scarce resources. We use character-level translation trained on ...
Decoding algorithm is a crucial part in statistical machine translation. We describe a stack decoding algorithm in this paper. We present the hypothesis scoring method and the heu...
This paper presents a partial matching strategy for phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT). Source phrases which do not appear in the training corpus can be translat...
This paper proposes a novel method for phrase-based statistical machine translation by using pivot language. To conduct translation between languages Lf and Le with a small biling...
We address the problem of extracting bilingual chunk pairs from parallel text to create training sets for statistical machine translation. We formulate the problem in terms of a s...
