Jingsheng Cai, Yujie Zhang, Hua Shan, Jinan Xu · 2014
This paper describes the Beijing Jiaotong University Japanese-Chinese machine translation system which participated in the 1st Workshop on Asian Translation (WAT 2014). We propose a preordering approach based on dependency parsing for Japanese-Chinese statistical machine translation (SMT). Our system achieves a BLEU of 24.12 and a RIBES of 79.48 on the Japanese-Chinese translation task in the official evaluation.
