Accelerated DP based search for statistical translation
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we describe a fast search algorithm for statistical translation based on dynamic programming (DP) and present experimental results.The approach is based on the assumption that the word alignment is monotone with respect to the word order in both languages.To reduce the search eort for this approach, we introduce two methods: an acceleration technique to eciently compute the dynamic programming recursion equation and a beam search strategy as used in speech recognition.The experimental tests carried out on the Verbmobil corpus showed that the search space, measured by the number of translation hypotheses, is reduced by a factor of about 230 without aecting the translation performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
