NRC's PORTAGE System for WMT 2007
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the PORTAGE statistical machine translation system which participated in the shared task of the ACL 2007 Second Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation. The focus of this description is on improvements which were incorporated into the system over the last year. These include adapted language models, phrase table pruning, an IBM1-based decoder feature, and rescoring with posterior probabilities.

Lessons from NRC's Portage System at WMT 2010
NRC’s Portage system participated in the English-French (E-F) and French-English (F-E) translation tasks of the ACL WMT 2010 evaluation. The most notable improvement over earlier versions of Portage is an efficient implementation of lattice MERT. While Portage has typically performed well in Chinese to English MT evaluations, most recently in the NIST09 evaluation, our participation in WMT 2010...
متن کاملRule-Based Translation with Statistical Phrase-Based Post-Editing
This article describes a machine translation system based on an automatic post-editing strategy: initially translate the input text into the target-language using a rule-based MT system, then automatically post-edit the output using a statistical phrase-based system. An implementation of this approach based on the SYSTRAN and PORTAGE MT systems was used in the shared task of the Second Workshop...
متن کاملPORTAGE: with Smoothed Phrase Tables and Segment Choice Models
Improvements to Portage and its participation in the shared task of NAACL 2006 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation are described. Promising ideas in phrase table smoothing and global distortion using feature-rich models are discussed as well as numerous improvements in the software base.

متن کاملUCB System Description for the WMT 2007 Shared Task
For the WMT 2007 shared task, the UC Berkeley team employed three techniques of interest. First, we used monolingual syntactic paraphrases to provide syntactic variety to the source training set sentences. Second, we trained two language models: a small in-domain model and a large out-ofdomain model. Finally, we made use of results from prior research that shows that cognate pairs can improve w...
