摘要:We introduce two simple improvements to the
lexical weighting features of Koehn, Och, and
Marcu (2003) for machine translation: one
which smooths the probability of translating
word f to word e by simplifying English morphology,
and one which conditions it on the
kind of training data that f and e co-occurred
in. These new variations lead to improvements
of up to +0.8 BLEU, with an average improvement
of +0.6 BLEU across two language pairs,
two genres, and two translation systems.
