... This paper presents a novel method to suggest long word reorderings to a phrase-based SMT decoder. We address language pairs where long reordering concentrates on few patterns, and use fuzzy chunk-based rules to predict ... See full document

... One way of improving this alignment is by monotoniza- tion (Kanthak et al., 2005), i.e. reordering the words in the source sentence following the order of the words in the target sentence. For instance in a ... See full document
