Word alignment plays a central role in statistical MT (SMT) since almost all SMT systems extract translation rules from word aligned parallel training data. While most SMT systems...
Previous methods on improving translation quality by employing multiple SMT models usually carry out as a secondpass decision procedure on hypotheses from multiple systems using e...
The class of Linear Inversion Transduction Grammars (LITGs) is introduced, and used to induce a word alignment over a parallel corpus. We show that alignment via Stochastic Bracke...
Documents in languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean sometimes annotate terms with their translations in English inside a pair of parentheses. We present a method to extrac...

Reordering is currently one of the most important problems in statistical machine translation systems. This paper presents a novel strategy for dealing with it: statistical machin...
