Incremental Syntactic Language Models for Phrase-Based Translation
In: DTIC (2011)
Abstract: This paper describes a novel technique for incorporating syntactic knowledge into phrase-based machine translation through incremental syntactic parsing. Bottom-up and top-down parsers typically require a completed string as input. This requirement makes it difficult to incorporate them into phrase-based translation, which generates partial hypothesized translations from left-to-right. Incremental syntactic language models score sentences in a similar left-to-right fashion, and are therefore a good mechanism for incorporating syntax into phrase-based translation. We give a formal definition of one such linear-time syntactic language model, detail its relation to phrase-based decoding, and integrate the model with the Moses phrase-based translation system. We present empirical results on a constrained Urdu-English translation task that demonstrate a significant BLEU score improvement and a large decrease in perplexity. ; Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (49th) held in Portland, Oregon, on June 19-24, 2011. Published in the Proceedings of the 49th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, p620-631, June 2011. Sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation.
