Different approaches in machine translation achieve similar translation quality with a variety
of translations in the output. Recently it has been shown, that it is possible to leverage the …

In this paper, we give a survey of several recent extensions to hierarchical phrase-based
machine translation that have been implemented in version 2 of Jane, RWTH's open source …

The more expressive and flexible a base formalism for machine translation is, the less
efficient parsing of it will be. However, even among formalisms with the same parse …

This document describes Pharaoh, a beam search decoder for phrase-based statistical
machine translation models. It is both a user manual that describes how to run the program …

This paper describes a range of automatic and manual comparisons of phrase-based and

We present new results from a hybrid combination of rule-based machine translation
(RBMT) with a variant of statistical machine translation (SMT) that supports hierarchical …

This special issue on EBMT is largely based on contributions from the MT Summit X in
Phuket, Thailand; five of the papers here are extended, revised versions of presentations …

We explore the intersection of rule-based and statistical approaches in machine translation,
with a particular focus on past and current work at Microsoft Research. Until about 10 years …
