Passive and Pervasive Use of Bilingual Dictionary in Statistical Machine Translation

2015

There are two primary approaches to the use bilingual dictionary in statistical machine translation: (i) the passive approach of appending the parallel training data with a bilingual dictionary and (ii) the pervasive approach of enforcing …

An Awkward Disparity between BLEU / RIBES Scores and Human Judgements in Machine Translation

2015

Automatic evaluation of machine translation (MT) quality is essential in developing high quality MT systems. Despite previous criticisms, BLEU remains the most popular machine translation metric. Previous studies on the schism between BLEU and manual …

An Empirical Analysis of NMT-Derived Interlingual Embeddings and Their Use in Parallel Sentence Identification

2017 · IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

End-to-end neural machine translation has overtaken statistical machine translation in terms of translation quality for some language pairs, specially those with large amounts of parallel data. Besides this palpable improvement, neural networks provide several new …
