Concept information

Preferred term

hierarchical phrase-based machine translation  

Definition

  • A statistical machine translation approach that extends the phrase-based model by introducing a hierarchical structure to the translation process. HPMT segments the source sentence into phrases and groups them into nodes arranged in a hierarchical structure, allowing for more accurate translations of complex sentences.

Synonym(s)

  • HPMT

Example

  • Hierarchical phrase-based machine translation can capture global reordering with synchronous context-free grammar but has little ability to evaluate the correctness of word orderings during decoding. (Hayashi, Tsukada, Sudoh, Duh & Yamamoto, 2010)
  • The hierarchical phrase-based machine translation (aka hiero) extends the phrase-based models notion of phrase from naive contiguous words to a sequence of words and sub-phrases (Chiang 2005). (Tan, 2016)
  • There has been much effort to improve performance for hierarchical phrase-based machine translation by employing linguistic knowledge. (Liu, Zhao, Wang & Cao, 2011)
  • Zhou et al. (2017) combined phrasebased statistical machine translation (PBMT) hi-erarchical phrase-based statistical machine translation (HPMT) and NMT with a unified architecture similar to the dominant NMT model. (Geng, Feng, Qin & Liu, 2018)
