[PDF] Top 20 Combination of Arabic Preprocessing Schemes for Statistical Machine Translation

... This “deep” approach allows the decoder to con- sult several different phrase tables, each generated using a different preprocessing scheme; just as with ROC, there is a subsequent rescoring stage. A problem with ... See full document
