Prediction of Words in Statistical Machine Translation using a Multilayer Perceptron
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose to estimate the probability that a target word appears in the translation of a given source sentence using a multilayer perceptron. At the expense of ignoring word order and repetition, our model does not assume word alignments and consider all source words jointly when evaluating the probability of a target word. We compared our model against IBM1 which does not consider word order either. Our model was comparable with IBM1 when predicting the target words that should appear in the translation of a source sentence. When our model was extended to include alignment information, it surpassed IBM1 on all the metrics we used.

In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...
متن کاملConfidence estimation for translation prediction
The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of machine learning approaches for confidence estimation within a statistical machine translation application. Specifically, we attempt to learn probabilities of correctness for various model predictions, based on the native probabilites (i.e. the probabilites given by the original model) and on features of the current context. Our experiments ...

Phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) decoders translate source sentences one phrase at a time using strong independence assumptions over the source phrases. Translation table scores are typically independent of context, language model scores depend on a few words surrounding the target phrase and distortion models do not influence directly the choice of target phrases. In this w...
