Using syntactic coupling features for discriminating phrase-based translations (WMT-08 shared translation task)
Vassilina Nikoulina, Marc Dymetman · 2008
Our participation in the shared translation task at WMT-08 focusses on news translation from English to French. Our main goal is to contrast a baseline version of the phrase-based MATRAX system, with a version that incorporates syntactic "coupling" features in order to discriminate translations produced by the baseline system. We report results comparing different feature combinations.
