This paper presents a study of three statistical query translation models that use different units of translation. We begin with a review of a word-based translation model that us...
In this paper, we consider sentence simplification as a special form of translation with the complex sentence as the source and the simple sentence as the target. We propose a Tre...
Several attempts have been made to learn phrase translation probabilities for phrasebased statistical machine translation that go beyond pure counting of phrases in word-aligned t...
In the statistical approach for self-organizing maps (SOMs), learning is regarded as an estimation algorithm for a Gaussian mixture model with a Gaussian smoothing prior on the ce...
Scientific and statistical inferences build heavily on explicit, parametric models, and often with good reasons. However, the limited scope of parametric models and the increasin...
