Title
Using Word Posterior Probabilities in Lattice Translation
Abstract
In this paper we describe the statistical machine transla- tion system developed at ITI/UPV, which aims especially at speech recognition and statistical machine translation in- tegration, for the evaluation campaign of the Internationa l Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (2007). The system we have developed takes advantage of an im- proved word lattice representation that uses word posterior probabilities. These word posterior probabilities are the n added as a feature to a log-linear model. This model includes a stochastic finite-state transducer which allows an easy la t- tice integration. Furthermore, it provides a statistical p hrase- based reordering model that is able to perform local reorder- ings of the output. We have tested this model on the Italian-English corpus, for clean text, 1-best ASR and lattice ASR inputs. The results and conclusions of such experiments are reported at the end of this paper.
