Title
Adaptive model weighting and transductive regression for predicting best system combinations
Abstract
We analyze adaptive model weighting techniques for reranking using instance scores obtained by L1 regularized transductive regression. Competitive statistical machine translation is an on-line learning technique for sequential translation tasks where we try to select the best among competing statistical machine translators. The competitive predictor assigns a probability per model weighted by the sequential performance. We define additive, multiplicative, and loss-based weight updates with exponential loss functions for competitive statistical machine translation. Without any pre-knowledge of the performance of the translation models, we succeed in achieving the performance of the best model in all systems and surpass their performance in most of the language pairs we considered.
