- A. Waibel, Nguyen Bach. 2012. Dependency structures for statistical machine translation. Abstract: Dependency structures represent a sentence as a set of dependency relations. Normally the dependency structures from a tree connect all the words in a sentence. One of the most defining characters of dependency structures is the ability to bring long distance dependency between words to local dependency structures. Another the main attraction of dependency structures has been its close correspondence to meaning. This thesis focuses on integrating dependency structures into machine translation components including decoder algorithm, reordering models, confidence measure, and sentence simplification.
