An Improved Statistical Transfer System for French-English Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the Carnegie Mellon University statistical transfer MT system submitted to the 2009 WMT shared task in French-to-English translation. We describe a syntax-based approach that incorporates both syntactic and non-syntactic phrase pairs in addition to a syntactic grammar. After reporting development test results, we conduct a preliminary analysis of the coverage and effectiveness of the system’s components.

Statistical Transfer Systems for French-English and German-English Machine Translation
We apply the Stat-XFER statistical transfer machine translation framework to the task of translating from French and German into English. We introduce statistical methods within our framework that allow for the principled extraction of syntax-based transfer rules from parallel corpora given word alignments and constituency parses. Performance is evaluated on test sets from the 2007 WMT shared t...
متن کاملApplying Statistical Methods to Machine Translation
A common paradigm in machine translation is analysis, transfer, and synthesis. In French-to-English translation, for example, a French sentence is analyzed into an intermediate structure in which various ambiguities present in the surface form have been resolved. This structure is then transferred to a similar English structure. Finally, an English sentence is synthesized from the intermediate ...
متن کاملStatistical pattern-based machine translation with statistical French-English machine translation
We developed a two-stage machine translation (MT) system. The first stage consists of an automatically created pattern-based machine translation system, and the second stage consists of a standard statistical machine translation (SMT) system. For French-English machine translation, we first used a French-English pattern-based MT, and we obtained ”English” sentences from French sentences. Second...
