WMT ’ 15 : Translation Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes LIMSI’s submissions to the shared WMT’15 translation task. We report results for French-English, Russian-English in both directions, as well as for Finnish-into-English. Our submissions use NCODE and MOSES along with continuous space translation models in a post-processing step. The main novelties of this year’s participation are the following: for Russian-English, we investigate a tailored normalization of Russian to translate into English, and a two-step process to translate first into simplified Russian, followed by a conversion into inflected Russian. For French-English, the challenge is domain adaptation, for which only monolingual corpora are available. Finally, for the Finnish-to-English task, we explore unsupervised morphological segmentation to reduce the sparsity of data induced by the rich morphology on the Finnish side.

Why Predicting Post-Edition is so Hard? Failure Analysis of LIMSI Submission to the APE Shared Task
This paper describes the two systems submitted by LIMSI to the WMT’15 Shared Task on Automatic Post-Editing. The first one relies on a reformulation of the APE task as a Machine Translation task; the second implements a simple rule-based approach. Neither of these two systems manage to improve the automatic translation. We show, by carefully analyzing the failure of our systems that this counte...

متن کاملA Grain of Salt for the WMT Manual Evaluation
The Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT) has become one of ACL’s flagship workshops, held annually since 2006. In addition to soliciting papers from the research community, WMT also features a shared translation task for evaluating MT systems. This shared task is notable for having manual evaluation as its cornerstone. The Workshop’s overview paper, playing a descriptive and admini...
متن کاملHierarchical Phrase-Based MT at the Charles University for the WMT 2010 Shared Task
We describe our experiments with hierarchical phrase-based machine translation for WMT 2010 Shared Task. We provide a detailed description of our configuration and data so the results are replicable. For English-to-Czech translation, we experiment with several datasets of various sizes and with various preprocessing sequences. For the other 7 translation directions, we just present the baseline...
متن کاملBlack Box Features for the WMT 2012 Quality Estimation Shared Task
In this paper we introduce a number of new features for quality estimation in machine translation that were developed for the WMT 2012 quality estimation shared task. We find that very simple features such as indicators of certain characters are able to outperform complex features that aim to model the connection between two languages.
متن کاملAbu-MaTran at WMT 2016 Translation Task: Deep Learning, Morphological Segmentation and Tuning on Character Sequences
This paper presents the systems submitted by the Abu-MaTran project to the Englishto-Finnish language pair at the WMT 2016 news translation task. We applied morphological segmentation and deep learning in order to address (i) the data scarcity problem caused by the lack of in-domain parallel data in the constrained task and (ii) the complex morphology of Finnish. We submitted a neural machine t...
