Experiments in domain adaptation for statistical machine translation
Philipp Koehn, Josh Schroeder · 2007
The special challenge of the WMT 2007 shared task was domain adaptation. We took this opportunity to experiment with various ways of adapting a statistical machine translation systems to a special domain (here: news commentary), when most of the training data is from a different domain (here: European Parliament speeches). This paper also gives a description of the submission of the University of Edinburgh to the shared task.
