Stochastic Methods of Machine Translation

A Comparative Study of English-Persian Translation of Neural Google Translation

Many studies abroad have focused on neural machine translation and almost all concluded that this method was much closer to humanistic translation than machine translation. Therefore, this paper aimed at investigating whether neural machine translation was more acceptable in English-Persian translation in comparison with machine translation. Hence, two types of text were chosen to be translated...

Two-stage fuzzy-stochastic programming for parallel machine scheduling problem with machine deterioration and operator learning effect

This paper deals with the determination of machine numbers and production schedules in manufacturing environments. In this line, a two-stage fuzzy stochastic programming model is discussed with fuzzy processing times where both deterioration and learning effects are evaluated simultaneously. The first stage focuses on the type and number of machines in order to minimize the total costs associat...

Stochastic methods of mechanical translation

Tuning machine translation parameters with SPSA

Most of statistical machine translation systems are combinations of various models, and tuning of the scaling factors is an important step. However, this optimisation problem is hard because the objective function has many local minima and the available algorithms cannot achieve a global optimum. Consequently, optimisations starting from different initial settings can converge to fairly differe...

Stochastic K-TSS Bi-Languages for Machine Translation

One of the approaches to statistical machine translation is based on joint probability distributions over some source and target languages. In this work we propose to model the joint probability distribution by stochastic regular bi-languages. Specifically we introduce the stochastic k-testable in the strict sense bi-languages to represent the joint probability distribution of source and target...
