Abstract

Hierarchical organization is a well known property of language, and yet the notion of hierarchical structure has been largely absent from the best performing machine translation systems in recent community-wide evaluations. In this paper, we discuss a new hierarchical phrase-based statistical machine translation system (Chiang, 2005), presenting recent extensions to the original proposal, new evaluation results in a community-wide evaluation, and a novel technique for fine-grained comparative analysis of MT systems.
