Decoding Algorithm

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 to set …...

We propose a new phrase-based translation model and decoding algorithm that enables us to evaluate and compare several, previ- ously proposed phrase-based translation mod- els. Within our framework, we carry …...

. We describe a new approach for synthetically combining the output of several different Machine Translation (MT) engines operating on the same input. The goal is to pro- duce a …...

This paper presents different methods of handling pronunciation variations in Cantonese large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition. In an LVCSR system, three knowledge sources are involved: a pronunciation lexicon, acoustic models and …...

The novel kernel regression model for SMT only demonstrated encouraging results on small-scale toy data sets in previous works due to the complexities of kernel methods. It is the first …...

This paper describes our contribution to the CoNLL 2012 Shared Task.1 We present a novel decoding algorithm for coreference res- olution which is combined with a standard pair-wise coreference resolver …...

In this paper, we propose a novel decoding al- gorithm for discriminative joint Chinese word segmentation, part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and parsing. Previous work often used a pipeline method – Chinese …...

AbstractRecent research in neural machine translation has largely focused on two aspects; neural network architectures and end-to-end learning algorithms. The problem of decoding, however, has received relatively little attention from …...

AbstractMetaphor generation attempts to replicate human creativity with language, which is an attractive but challengeable text generation task. Previous efforts mainly focus on template-based or rule-based methods and result in …...

AbstractA critical component of a successful language generation pipeline is the decoding algorithm. However, the general principles that should guide the choice of a decoding algorithm remain unclear. Previous works …...
