What is Hidden among Translation Rules
Libin Shen, Bowen Zhou · 2013
Most of the machine translation systems rely on a large set of translation rules.These rules are treated as discrete and independent events.In this short paper, we propose a novel method to model rules as observed generation output of a compact hidden model, which leads to better generalization capability.We present a preliminary generative model to test this idea.Experimental results show about one point improvement on TER-BLEU over a strong baseline in Chinese-to-English translation.
