3.3 Phrases from Phrase Alignments

  1. How was Marcu and Wong’s joint phrase model used in Koehn et al.’s framework?
    EM in that model learns a joint distribution \(\phi(\bar e, \bar f)\) over phrase pairs and a joint distortion distribution; these were marginalized to conditional probabilities for the decoder, as Marcu and Wong themselves did when decoding.
