Literature Survey: Pivot-based Machine Translation
نویسنده
چکیده
Current statistical machine translation systems heavily rely on the availability of parallel corpora between the language pair involved. The good quality parallel corpus is not always available. This creates a bottleneck. One solution to solve this bottleneck is to introduce third language, named pivot language for which there exist good quality source-pivot and pivot-target bilingual corpora.

Phrase-based statistical machine translation with pivot languages
Translation with pivot languages has recently gained attention as a means to circumvent the data bottleneck of statistical machine translation (SMT). This paper tries to give a mathematically sound formulation of the various approaches presented in the literature and introduces new methods for training alignment models through pivot languages. We present experimental results on Chinese-Spanish ...
متن کاملImproving Pivot-Based Statistical Machine Translation by Pivoting the Co-occurrence Count of Phrase Pairs
To overcome the scarceness of bilingual corpora for some language pairs in machine translation, pivot-based SMT uses pivot language as a "bridge" to generate source-target translation from sourcepivot and pivot-target translation. One of the key issues is to estimate the probabilities for the generated phrase pairs. In this paper, we present a novel approach to calculate the translation probabi...
متن کاملNeural Machine Translation with Pivot Languages
While recent neural machine translation approaches have delivered state-of-the-art performance for resource-rich language pairs, they suffer from the data scarcity problem for resource-scarce language pairs. Although this problem can be alleviated by exploiting a pivot language to bridge the source and target languages, the source-to-pivot and pivot-to-target translation models are usually inde...
متن کاملTranslation Quality Indicators for Pivot-based Statistical MT
Recent research on multilingual statistical machine translation focuses on the usage of pivot languages in order to overcome resource limitations for certain language pairs. This paper provides new insights into what factors make a good pivot language and investigates the impact of these factors on the overall pivot translation performance. Pivot-based SMT experiments translating between 22 Ind...
متن کاملImproving Pivot-Based Statistical Machine Translation Using Random Walk
This paper proposes a novel approach that utilizes a machine learning method to improve pivot-based statistical machine translation (SMT). For language pairs with few bilingual data, a possible solution in pivot-based SMT using another language as a "bridge" to generate source-target translation. However, one of the weaknesses is that some useful sourcetarget translations cannot be generated if...
