Machine translation: a critical look at the performance of rule-based and statistical machine translation

Statistical Machine Translation Adding Rule-based Machine Translation

Statistical Machine Translation with Rule based Machine Translation

We have evaluated the two-stage machine translation (MT) system. The first stage is a state-of-the-art trial rule-based machine translation system. The second stage is a normal statistical machine translation system. For Japanese-English machine translation, first, we used a Japanese-English rule-based MT, and we obtained "ENGLISH" sentences from Japanese sentences. Second, we used a standard s...

Fast Translation Rule Matching for Syntax-based Statistical Machine Translation

In a linguistically-motivated syntax-based translation system, the entire translation process is normally carried out in two steps, translation rule matching and target sentence decoding using the matched rules. Both steps are very timeconsuming due to the tremendous number of translation rules, the exhaustive search in translation rule matching and the complex nature of the translation task it...

A machine translation system combining rule-based machine translation and statistical post-editing

System architecture, experimental settings and evaluation results of the EIWA in the WAT2014 Japanese to English (jaen) and Chinese to Japanese (zh-ja) tasks are described. Our system is combining rule-based machine translation (RBMT) and statistical post-editing (SPE). Evaluation results for ja-en task show 19.86 BLEU score, 0.7067 RIBES score, and 22.50 human evaluation score. Evaluation resu...

Statistical Post-Editing of a Rule-Based Machine Translation System

Automatic post-editing (APE) systems aim at correcting the output of machine translation systems to produce better quality translations, i.e. produce translations can be manually postedited with an increase in productivity. In this work, we present an APE system that uses statistical models to enhance a commercial rulebased machine translation (RBMT) system. In addition, a procedure for effortl...
