Talk Title: "Dependency Based Decipherment for Resource-Limited Machine Translation (EMNLP 2013 Practice Talk) "
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: We introduce dependency relations into deciphering foreign languages and show that dependency relations help improve the state-of-the-art deciphering accuracy by over 500%. We learn a translation lexicon from large amounts of genuinely non parallel data with decipherment to improve a phrase-based machine translation system trained with limited parallel data. In experiments, we observe BLEU gains of 1.2 to 1.8 across three different test sets.
