Stochastic Modelling: From Pattern Classification to Speech Recognition and Language Translation

Abstract: This paper gives an overview of the stochastic modelling approach to machine translation.Starting with the Bayes decision rule as in pattern classification and speech recognition, we show how the resulting system architecture can be structured into three parts: the language model probability, the string translation model probability and the search procedure that generates the word sequence in the target language. We discuss the properties of the system components and report results on the translation of spoken… Show more

“…The EBMT systems, HPAT and D3, surpassed SAT in the HUMAN rank. This is the reverse result obtained in a Verbmobil experiment (Ney, 2001) where an SMT system scored highest. We are studying these interesting contradictory observations.…”

“…There are two main strategies in corpus-based machine translation: (i) Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT; Nagao, 1984;Somers, 1999) and (ii) Statistical Machine Translation (SMT; Brown et al, 1993;Knight, 1997;Ney, 2001;Alshawi et al, 2000). C3 is developing both technologies in parallel and blending them.…”

“…Hidden Markov Models (HMM) have made possible a break-through in the interpretation of written and spoken text. Instead of describing words and their relations structurally (grammar) and semantically, it was found for many applications to be sufficient to analyze the statistical dependencies of very few neighboring words based on HMM (Ney, 1999).…”
