Forest-to-string translation using binarized dependency forest for IWSLT 2012 OLYMPICS task
نویسندگان
چکیده
We participated in the OLYMPICS task in IWSLT 2012 and submitted two formal runs using a forest-to-string translation system. Our primary run achieved better translation quality than our contrastive run, but worse than a phrase-based and a hierarchical system using Moses.

EBMT system of kyoto university in OLYMPICS task at IWSLT 2012
This paper describes the EBMT system of Kyoto University that participated in the OLYMPICS task at IWSLT 2012. When translating very different language pairs such as Chinese-English, it is very important to handle sentences in tree structures to overcome the difference. Many recent studies incorporate tree structures in some parts of translation process, but not all the way from model training ...
متن کاملDependency Forest for Statistical Machine Translation
We propose a structure called dependency forest for statistical machine translation. A dependency forest compactly represents multiple dependency trees. We develop new algorithms for extracting string-todependency rules and training dependency language models. Our forest-based string-to-dependency system obtains significant improvements ranging from 1.36 to 1.46 BLEU points over the tree-based ...
متن کاملBinarized Forest to String Translation
Tree-to-string translation is syntax-aware and efficient but sensitive to parsing errors. Forestto-string translation approaches mitigate the risk of propagating parser errors into translation errors by considering a forest of alternative trees, as generated by a source language parser. We propose an alternative approach to generating forests that is based on combining sub-trees within the firs...

This paper presents NTT-NAIST SMT systems for English-German and German-English MT tasks of the IWSLT 2014 evaluation campaign. The systems are based on generalized minimum Bayes risk system combination of three SMT systems using the forest-to-string, syntactic preordering, and phrase-based translation formalisms. Individual systems employ training data selection for domain adaptation, truecasi...
متن کاملThe HIT-LTRC machine translation system for IWSLT 2012
In this paper, we describe HIT-LTRC's participation in the IWSLT 2012 evaluation campaign. In this year, we took part in the Olympics Task which required the participants to translate Chinese to English with limited data. Our system is based on Moses, which is an open source machine translation system. We mainly used the phrase-based models to carry out our experiments, and factored-based model...
