1 Machine Translation and the Translator Philipp Koehn 8 April 2015
2 About me 1 Professor at Johns Hopkins University (US), University of Edinburgh (Scotland) Author of textbook on statistical machine translation Leading development of open source Moses toolkit developed since 2006 reference implementation of state-of-the art methods used in academia as benchmark and testbed extensive commercial deployment (20% of MT market)
3 Recent Projects 2 Speech translation Computer aided translation Development of an open source toolkit tightly integrated with machine translation Novel types of assistance for translators Adaptation of machine translation to user needs Open source infrastructure MOSES CORE

16 Learning from Data 14 foreign/english parallel text English text statistical analysis Translation Model statistical analysis Language Model Decoding Algorithm
17 Finding the Best Translation 15 e BEST = argmax e p(e f)
18 16 why is that a good plan?
19 Word Translation Problems 17 Words are ambiguous He deposited money in a bank account with a high interest rate. Sitting on the bank of the Mississippi, a passing ship piqued his interest. How do we find the right meaning, and thus translation? Context should be helpful
20 Phrase Translation Problems 18 Idiomatic phrases are not compositional It s raining cats and dogs. Es schüttet aus Eimern. (it pours from buckets.) How can we translate such larger units?
21 Syntactic Translation Problems 19 Languages have different sentence structure das behaupten sie wenigstens this claim they at least the she
22 Syntactic Translation Problems 19 Languages have different sentence structure das behaupten sie wenigstens this claim they at least the she Convert from object-verb-subject (OVS) to subject-verb-object (SVO) Ambiguities can be resolved through syntactic analysis the meaning the of das not possible (not a noun phrase) the meaning she of sie not possible (subject-verb agreement)
23 Semantic Translation Problems 20 Pronominal anaphora I saw the movie and it is good. How to translate it into German (or French)?
24 Semantic Translation Problems 20 Pronominal anaphora I saw the movie and it is good. How to translate it into German (or French)? it refers to movie movie translates to Film Film has masculine gender ergo: it must be translated into masculine pronoun er We are not handling this very well [Le Nagard and Koehn, 2010]
25 Semantic Translation Problems 20 Pronominal anaphora I saw the movie and it is good. How to translate it into German (or French)? it refers to movie movie translates to Film Film has masculine gender ergo: it must be translated into masculine pronoun er We are not handling this very well [Le Nagard and Koehn, 2010]
26 Semantic Translation Problems 21 Coreference Whenever I visit my uncle and his daughters, I can t decide who is my favorite cousin. How to translate cousin into German? Male or female? Complex inference required
27 No Single Right Answer 22 Israeli officials are responsible for airport security. Israel is in charge of the security at this airport. The security work for this airport is the responsibility of the Israel government. Israeli side was in charge of the security of this airport. Israel is responsible for the airport s security. Israel is responsible for safety work at this airport. Israel presides over the security of the airport. Israel took charge of the airport security. The safety of this airport is taken charge of by Israel. This airport s security is the responsibility of the Israeli security officials.

31 26 better models
32 Phrase-Based Model 27 natürlich hat John Spaß am Spiel of course John has fun with the game Foreign input is segmented in phrases Each phrase is translated into English Phrases are reordered Workhorse of today s statistical machine translation
33 Synchronous Grammar Rules 28 Nonterminal rules NP DET 1 NN 2 JJ 3 DET 1 JJ 3 NN 2 Terminal rules N maison house NP la maison bleue the blue house Mixed rules NP la maison JJ 1 the JJ 1 house
34 Learning Rules 29 S VP VP VP PP NP PRP MD VB VBG RP TO PRP DT NNS I shall be passing on to you some comments Ich werde Ihnen die entsprechenden Anmerkungen aushändigen Extracted rule: VP X 1 X 2 aushändigen passing on PP 1 NP 2

36 New State of the Art 31 Good results for German English [WMT 2014] language pair syntax preferred German English 57% English German 55% Mixed for other language pairs language pair syntax preferred Czech English 44% Russian English 44% Hindi English 54% Also very successful for Chinese English
37 32 better machine learning
38 Sparse Data 33 Statistical estimation often suffers from sparse data Zipf s law most words are extremely rare frequency rank = constant rank Statistics from Europarl the occurs 1,929,379 times large tail of words that occur once: 33,447 words, for instance cornflakes, mathematicians, or Tazhikhistan frequency
39 Brown Clusters 34 Main idea: share evidence with similar words Cluster words to reduce sparsity presented the laconic message pursued these pompous lesson aired that melancholic letter commissioned this bouncy counterfactuals published incompletable stunner For instance: use in language modeling p(cluster(message) cluster(presented), cluster(the), class(laconic)
40 Word Embeddings 35
41 Word Embeddings 36
42 Deep Learning 37 Autoencoders first: learn embeddings unsupervised then: supervised learning of task Neural network language models several implementations some integrated in Moses Neural networks everywhere translation model reordering model operation sequence model
43 38 data
44 Big Data 39 For many language pairs, lots of text available. Text you read in your lifetime 300 million words Translated text available billions of words English text available trillions of words
45 Mining the Web 40 Largest source for test: the World Wide Web Common Crawl publicly available crawl of the web hosted by Amazon Web Services, but can be downloaded regularly updated (semi-annual) 2-4 billion web pages per crawl Currently filling up our hard drives
46 Monolingual Data 41 Starting point: 35TB of text Processing pipeline [Buck et al., 2014] language detection reduplication normalization of Unicode characters sentence splitting Obtained corpora Language Lines (B) Tokens (B) Bytes BLEU (WMT) English TB - German GB +0.5 Spanish GB - French GB +0.6 Russian GB +1.2 Czech GB +0.6
47 Parallel Data 42 Basic processing pipeline [Smith et al., 2013] find parallel web pages (based on URL only) align document by HTML structure sentence splitting and tokenization sentence alignment filtering (remove boilerplate) Obtained corpora French German Spanish Russian Japanese Chinese Segments 10.2M 7.50M 5.67M 3.58M 1.70M 1.42M Foreign Tokens 128M 79.9M 71.5M 34.7M 9.91M 8.14M English Tokens 118M 87.5M 67.6M 36.7M 19.1M 14.8M Bengali Farsi Telugu Somali Kannada Pashto Segments 59.9K 44.2K 50.6K 52.6K 34.5K 28.0K Foreign Tokens 573K 477K 336K 318K 305K 208K English Tokens 537K 459K 358K 325K 297K 218K Much more work needed!

Rank and color-highlight by probability of each translation Prefer diversity
