Improved chunk-level reordering for statistical machine translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inspired by previous chunk-level reordering approaches to statistical machine translation, this paper presents two methods to improve the reordering at the chunk level. By introducing a new lattice weighting factor and by reordering the training source data, an improvement is reported on TER and BLEU. Compared to the previous chunklevel reordering approach, the BLEU score improves 1.4% absolutely. The translation results are reported on IWSLT Chinese-English task.

Chunk-Level Reordering of Source Language Sentences with Automatically Learned Rules for Statistical Machine Translation
In this paper, we describe a sourceside reordering method based on syntactic chunks for phrase-based statistical machine translation. First, we shallow parse the source language sentences. Then, reordering rules are automatically learned from source-side chunks and word alignments. During translation, the rules are used to generate a reordering lattice for each sentence. Experimental results ar...

متن کاملA Reordering Approach for Statistical Machine Translation
This paper presents a Markov based hierarchical reordering scheme for lexical reordering to incorporate into phrase-based statistical machine translation system. The goal is to reorder the words and phrases in source language syntactic structure into their corresponding target language syntactic order for making translation easy. Without reordering during language translation, sentences can onl...
متن کاملWord Alignment-Based Reordering of Source Chunks in PB-SMT
Reordering poses a big challenge in statistical machine translation between distant language pairs. The paper presents how reordering between distant language pairs can be handled efficiently in phrase-based statistical machine translation. The problem of reordering between distant languages has been approached with prior reordering of the source text at chunk level to simulate the target langu...
متن کاملChunk-Based Verb Reordering in VSO Sentences for Arabic-English Statistical Machine Translation
In Arabic-to-English phrase-based statistical machine translation, a large number of syntactic disfluencies are due to wrong long-range reordering of the verb in VSO sentences, where the verb is anticipated with respect to the English word order. In this paper, we propose a chunk-based reordering technique to automatically detect and displace clause-initial verbs in the Arabic side of a word-al...
