We describe an exact decoding algorithm for syntax-based statistical translation. The approach uses Lagrangian relaxation to decompose the decoding problem into tractable subprobl...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are a well known language for specifying scenarios that describe how different actors (e.g., system components, people, or organizations) interact. M...
We investigate methods of generating additional bilingual phrase pairs for a phrasebased decoder by translating short sequences of source text. Because our translation task is mor...
The quality of a sentence translated by a machine translation (MT) system is difficult to evaluate. We propose a method for automatically evaluating the quality of each translati...
This paper looks at a parsing-based alternative to word error rate (WER) for optimizing recognition, SParseval, hypothesizing that it may be a better objective for applications su...
