An alignment algorithm using belief propagation and a structure-based distortion model
Fabien Cromierès, Sadao Kurohashi · 2009
In this paper, we first demonstrate the interest of the Loopy Belief Propagation algorithm to train and use a simple alignment model where the expected marginal values needed for an efficient EM-training are not easily computable. We then improve this model with a distortion model based on structure conservation.
