Statistical Machine Translation between Languages with Significant Word Order Difference
One of the difficulties statistical machine translation (SMT) systems face are differences in word order. When translating from a language with rather fixed SVO word order, such as English, to a language where the preferred word order is dramatically different (such as the SOV order of Urdu, Hindi, Korean, ...), the system has to learn long-distance reordering of the words. Higher degree of fre...
متن کاملMachine Translation between Turkic Languages
We present an approach to MT between Turkic languages and present results from an implementation of a MT system from Turkmen to Turkish. Our approach relies on ambiguous lexical and morphological transfer augmented with target side rule-based repairs and rescoring with statistical language models.

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
Context Models for OOV Word Translation in Low-Resource Languages
Out-of-vocabulary word translation is a major problem for the translation of low-resource languages that suffer from a lack of parallel training data. This paper evaluates the contributions of target-language context models towards the translation of OOV words, specifically in those cases where OOV translations are derived from external knowledge sources, such as dictionaries. We develop both n...
متن کاملCombining Word-Level and Character-Level Models for Machine Translation Between Closely-Related Languages
We propose several techniques for improving statistical machine translation between closely-related languages with scarce resources. We use character-level translation trained on n-gram-character-aligned bitexts and tuned using word-level BLEU, which we further augment with character-based transliteration at the word level and combine with a word-level translation model. The evaluation on Maced...
