Tools for Machine-Aided Translation: The CMU TWS

Machine Translation and Machine‐Aided Translation

The recent report for the Commission of the European Communities on current multilingual activities in the field of scientific and technical information 1 and the 1977 conference on the same theme 2 both included substantial sections on operational and experimental machine translation systems, and in its Plan of action 3 the Commission announced its intention to introduce an operational machine...

The CMU Statistical Machine Translation System

In this paper we describe the components of our statistical machine translation system. This system combines phrase-tophrase translations extracted from a bilingual corpus using different alignment approaches. Special methods to extract and align named entities are used. We show how a manual lexicon can be incorporated into the statistical system in an optimized way. Experiments on Chinese-toEn...

Knowledge-Based Machine Translation, The CMU Approach

The CMU statistical machine translation system for IWSLT 2005

In this paper we describe the CMU statistical machine translation system used in the IWSLT 2005 evaluation campaign. This system is based on phrase-to-phrase translations extracted from a bilingual corpus. We experimented with two different phrase extraction methods; PESA on-the-fly phrase extraction and alignment free extraction method. The translation model, language model and other features ...

The CMU-UKA statistical machine translation systems for IWSLT 2007

This paper describes the CMU-UKA statistical machine translation systems submitted to the IWSLT 2007 evaluation campaign. Systems were submitted for three language-pairs: Japanese→English, Chinese→English and Arabic→English. All systems were based on a common phrase-based SMT (statistical machine translation) framework but for each language-pair a specific research problem was tackled. For Japa...
