Machine Translation System

Abstract We present a web-based open-source tool for interactive translation prediction (ITP) and describe its underlying architecture. ITP systems assist human translators by making context-based computer-generated suggestions as they type. Most of the ITP systems in literature are strongly coupled with a statistical machine translation system that is conveniently adapted to provide the suggestions. Our system, however, follows a resource-agnostic approach and suggestions are obtained from any unmodified black-box bilingual resource. This paper reviews our ITP method and describes the architecture of Forecat, a web tool, partly based on the recent technology of web components, that eases the use of our ITP approach in any web application requiring this kind of translation assistance. We also evaluate the performance of our method when using an unmodified Moses-based statistical machine translation system as the bilingual resource.

Machine Translation System

Abstract We describe the version six release of Joshua, an open-source statistical machine translation toolkit. The main difference from release five is the introduction of a simple, unlexicalized, phrase-based stack decoder. This phrase-based decoder shares a hypergraph format with the syntax-based systems, permitting a tight coupling with the existing codebase of feature functions and hypergraph tools. Joshua 6 also includes a number of large-scale discriminative tuners and a simplified sparse feature function interface with reflection-based loading, which allows new features to be used by writing a single function. Finally, Joshua includes a number of simplifications and improvements focused on usability for both researchers and end-users, including the release of language packs — precompiled models that can be run as black boxes.

Abstract We present Otedama, a fast, open-source tool for rule-based syntactic pre-ordering, a well established technique in statistical machine translation. Otedama implements both a learner for pre-ordering rules, as well as a component for applying these rules to parsed sentences. Our system is compatible with several external parsers and capable of accommodating many source and all target languages in any machine translation paradigm which uses parallel training data. We demonstrate improvements on a patent translation task over a state-of-the-art English-Japanese hierarchical phrase-based machine translation system. We compare Otedama with an existing syntax-based pre-ordering system, showing comparable translation performance at a runtime speedup of a factor of 4.5-10.
