Arabic English Translation Task

In this paper, we describe a phrase-based unigram model for statistical machine translation that uses a much simpler set of model parameters than similar phrase- based models. The units of …...

In this paper, we present a novel training method for a localized phrase-based predic- tion model for statistical machine translation (SMT). The model predicts blocks with orien- tation to handle …...

This paper presents a novel training al- gorithm for a linearly-scored block se- quence translation model. The key com- ponent is a new procedure to directly op- timize the global …...

AbstractThis paper describes the University of Maryland statistical machine translation system used in the IWSLT 2007 evaluation. Our focus was threefold: using hierarchical phrase-based models in spoken language translation, the …...

The neural network joint model of transla- tion or NNJM (Devlin et al., 2014) combines source and target context to produce a power- ful translation feature. However, its softmax layer …...
