Hierarchical phrase-based (HPB) translation provides a powerful mechanism to capture both short and long distance phrase reorderings. However, the phrase reorderings lack of contextual information in conventional HPB systems. This paper proposes a contextdependent phrase reordering approach that uses the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to help the HPB decoder select appropriate reordering patter...

The ETM operates on word-level and augments the IBM models by an additional bilingual word pair and a reordering operation. Its implementation in a phrase-based decoder int...
