October 28: Galley et al 2004 and 2006

We read about the syntax-based SMT system that was referred to from the paper ”Two Langauges are Better than One (for Syntactic Parsing)”, ie, the following two papers:

Galley, Hopkins, Knight, Marcu, "What’s in a translation rule?",Proc. HLT-NAACL 2004.

http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/N/N04/N04-1035.pdf

Galley, Graehl, Knight, Marcu, DeNeefe, Wang, Thayer,

"Scalable Inference and Training of Context-Rich Syntactic Translation Models", Proc. ACL 2006.

All the best,
Matthias

PS. I am unable to attend the reading group myself because of a funding meeting. :-(
