Hierarchical phrase-based models provide a powerful mechanism to capture non-local phrase reorderings for statistical machine translation (SMT). However, many phrase reorderings a...
Extractive summarization techniques cannot generate document summaries shorter than a single sentence, something that is often required. An ideal summarization system would unders...

A good decoding algorithm is critical to the success of any statistical machine translation system. The decoder's job is to find the translation that is most likely according...

We introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (S3 VM) method. Given a training set of labeled data and a working set of unlabeled data, S3 VM constructs a support vector m...
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
