As a principled approach to capturing semantic relations of words in information retrieval, statistical translation models have been shown to outperform simple document language m...
In this paper we present several extensions of MARIE1 , a freely available N-gram-based statistical machine translation (SMT) decoder. The extensions mainly consist of the ability...
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...
We present a method for improving word alignment for statistical syntax-based machine translation that employs a syntactically informed alignment model closer to the translation m...
The hierarchical Pitman-Yor process-based smoothing method applied to language model was proposed by Goldwater and by Teh; the performance of this smoothing method is shown compara...
