Improved Domain Adaptation for Statistical Machine Translation

Wei Wang, Klaus Macherey, Wolfgang Macherey, Franz Och, Peng Xu


Abstract
We present a simple and effective infrastructure for domain adaptation for statistical machine translation (MT). To build MT systems for different domains, it trains, tunes and deploys a single translation system that is capable of producing adapted domain translations and preserving the original generic accuracy at the same time. The approach unifies automatic domain detection and domain model parameterization into one system. Experiment results on 20 language pairs demonstrate its viability.
