Using Wordnet to Improve Reordering in Hierarchical Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation

no code implementations GWC 2016 Arefeh Kazemi, Antonio Toral, Andy Way

We propose the use of WordNet synsets in a syntax-based reordering model for hierarchical statistical machine translation (HPB-SMT) to enable the model to generalize to phrases not seen in the training data but that have equivalent meaning.
