ABSTRACT
We present a joint probability model for statistical machine translation, which automatically learns word and phrase equivalents from bilingual corpora. Translations produced with parameters estimated using the joint model are more accurate than translations produced using IBM Model 4.

A tree-to-string phrase-based model for statistical machine translation
CoNLL '08: Proceedings of the Twelfth Conference on Computational Natural Language LearningThough phrase-based SMT has achieved high translation quality, it still lacks of generalization ability to capture word order differences between languages. In this paper we describe a general method for tree-to-string phrase-based SMT. We study how ...
