Some Experiments with a Convex IBM Model 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a recent convex formulation of IBM Model 2, we propose a new initialization scheme which has some favorable comparisons to the standard method of initializing IBM Model 2 with IBM Model 1. Additionally, we derive the Viterbi alignment for the convex relaxation of IBM Model 2 and show that it leads to better F-Measure scores than those of IBM Model 2.

Towards a Convex HMM Surrogate for Word Alignment
Among the alignment models used in statistical machine translation (SMT), the hidden Markov model (HMM) is arguably the most elegant: it performs consistently better than IBM Model 3 and is very close in performance to the much more complex IBM Model 4. In this paper we discuss a model which combines the structure of the HMM and IBM Model 2. Using this surrogate, our experiments show that we ca...
متن کاملA Convex Alternative to IBM Model 2
The IBM translation models have been hugely influential in statistical machine translation; they are the basis of the alignment models used in modern translation systems. Excluding IBM Model 1, the IBM translation models, and practically all variants proposed in the literature, have relied on the optimization of likelihood functions or similar functions that are non-convex, and hence have multi...
متن کاملA Family of Latent Variable Convex Relaxations for IBM Model 2
Recently, a new convex formulation of IBM Model 2 was introduced. In this paper we develop the theory further and introduce a class of convex relaxations for latent variable models which include IBM Model 2. When applied to IBM Model 2, our relaxation class subsumes the previous relaxation as a special case. As proof of concept, we study a new relaxation of IBM Model 2 which is simpler than the...
متن کاملEstimating the Parameters in Photovoltaic Modules: A Constrained Optimization Approach
This paper presents a novel identification technique for estimation of unknown parameters in photovoltaic (PV) systems. A single diode model is considered for the PV system, which consists of five unknown parameters. Using information of standard test condition (STC), three unknown parameters are written as functions of the other two parameters in a reduced model. An objective function and ...

The dynamical symmetries in even-even nuclei were investigated by Arima and Iachello in 1974, and led to a model called ;ampquotInteracting Boson Model, (IBM)". In this article we have outlined some basic ideas used in IBM-1 and carried out the calculations for low laying energy levels of even-even isotopes Cd, Sn and Te via PHINT code. The calculations for energy and quadra pole moment t...
