چکیده

This paper describes the NICT SMT system used in the International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) 2009 evaluation campaign. We participated in the Challenge Task. Our system was based on a fairly common phrase-based machine translation system. We used two methods for stabilizing MERT.

The NICT ASR System for IWSLT 2013

This study presents the NICT automatic speech recognition (ASR) system submitted for the IWSLT 2013 ASR evaluation. We apply two types of acoustic features and three types of acoustic models to the NICT ASR system. Our system is comprised of six subsystems with different acoustic features and models. This study reports the individual results and fusion of systems and highlights the improvements...

The niCT-ATR statistical machine translation system for the IWSLT 2006 evaluation

This paper describes the NiCT-ATR statistical machine translation (SMT) system used for the IWSLT 2006 evaluation compaign. We participated in all four language pair translation tasks (CE, JE, AE and IE) and all two tracks (OPEN and CSTAR). We used a phrase-based SMT in the OPEN track and a hybrid multiple translation engine in the CSTAR track. We also equipped our system with some of new prepr...

Structural support vector machines for log-linear approach in statistical machine translation

Minimum error rate training (MERT) is a widely used learning method for statistical machine translation. In this paper, we present a SVM-based training method to enhance generalization ability. We extend MERT optimization by maximizing the margin between the reference and incorrect translations under the L2-norm prior to avoid overfitting problem. Translation accuracy obtained by our proposed m...
