Are Very Large N-Best Lists Useful for SMT?
This paper describes an efficient method to extract large n-best lists from a word graph produced by a statistical machine translation system. The extraction is based on the k sh...

Lattice-based Minimum Error Rate Training for Statistical Machine Translation
Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT) is an effective means to estimate the feature function weights of a linear model such that an automated evaluation criterion for measuring syste...

A Comparative Study on Reordering Constraints in Statistical Machine Translation
In statistical machine translation, the generation of a translation hypothesis is computationally expensive. If arbitrary wordreorderings are permitted, the search problem is NP-h...

Lattice Minimum Bayes-Risk Decoding for Statistical Machine Translation
We present Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding over translation lattices that compactly encode a huge number of translation hypotheses. We describe conditions on the loss function t...

Automatic Acquisition of Hierarchical Transduction Models for Machine Translation
We describe a method for the fully automatic learning of hierarchical finite state translation models. The input to the method is transcribed speech utterances and their correspon...
