T5: Statistical Machine Translation with Open Source Software, Phillip Koehn, Hieu Hoang

This tutorial will introduce the open source tools such as the Moses toolkit and stress its functionality. It is a hands-on tutorial more geared towards using the tool, rather than a descriptions of the details of the methods. The tutorial will cover the following topics: overview of the training and tuning pipeline; working with an experimental management system; analyzing the output; word alignment toolkits; input modalities: words, confusion networks, lattices; output modalities: 1-best, n-best, search graph; translation models: phrasal, hierarchical, syntactified; language models: binarization, quantization, randomization; decision rules: MAP, MBR, lattice MBR, consensus; trade-offs between speed and quality; trade-offs between speed and memory efficiency; incremental updating of the translation model; adding features to the decoder.
