We describe a methodology for rapid experimentation in statistical machine translation which we use to add a large number of features to a baseline system exploiting features from...

In statistical machine translation, a researcher seeks to determine whether some innovation (e.g., a new feature, model, or inference algorithm) improves translation quality in co...

This paper addresses the problem of dynamic model parameter selection for loglinear model based statistical machine translation (SMT) systems. In this work, we propose a principle...
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...

Phrase-based decoding produces state-of-theart translations with no regard for syntax. We add syntax to this process with a cohesion constraint based on a dependency tree for the ...
