We describe Joshua, an open source toolkit for statistical machine translation. Joshua implements all of the algorithms required synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs): chart-parsing, n-gram language model integration, beam-and cube-pruning, and k-best extraction. The also suffix-array grammar extraction minimum error rate training. It uses parallel distributed computing techniques scalability. demonstrate that achieves state art translation performance on WMT09 French-English task.
We describe Joshua (Li et al., 2009a), an open source toolkit for statistical machine translation. implements all of the algorithms required translation via synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs): chart-parsing, n-gram language model integration, beam- and cube-pruning, k-best extraction.

Purpose . To quantify the quality of life (QoL) distress experienced by immediate family members patients with urethral stricture via a questionnaire given prior to definitive urethroplasty. The emotional, social, and physical effects disease on QoL have not been previously described. Materials Methods A was administered prospectively an member 51 undergoing anterior urethroplasty single surgeon (SBB). survey comprised twelve questions that addressed consequences as result their loved one....
As machine translation (MT) systems grow more complex and incorporate linguistic knowledge, it becomes difficult to evaluate independent pieces of the MT pipeline. Being able inspect many intermediate data structures used during decoding allows a fine-grained evaluation performance, helping determine which parts current process are effective not. In this article, we present an overview visualization tools that currently distributed with Joshua (Li et al., 2009) decoder. We explain their use...
Machine translation (MT) draws from several different disciplines, making it a complex subject to teach. There are excellent pedagogical texts, but problems in MT and current algorithms for solving them best learned by doing. As centerpiece of our course, we devised series open-ended challenges students which the goal was improve performance on carefully constrained instances four key tasks: alignment, decoding, evaluation, reranking. Students brought diverse set techniques problems,...
The Machine Translation Toolpack for LoonyBin: Automated Management of Experimental HyperWorkflows Construction machine translation systems has evolved into a multi-stage workflow involving many complicated dependencies. Many decoder distributions have addressed this by including monolithic training scripts - train-factored-model.pl Moses and mr_runmer.pl SAMT. However, such can be tricky to modify novel experiments typically limited support the variety job schedulers found on academic...
Paraphrase evaluation is typically done either manually or through indirect, taskbased evaluation. We introduce an intrinsic PARADIGM which measures the goodness of paraphrase collections that are represented using synchronous grammars. formulate two evaluate these grammars gold standard sentential paraphrases drawn from a monolingual parallel corpus. The first measure calculates how often grammar able to synchronously parse sentence pairs in second enumerates rules corpus and overlap...
Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy of men aged 15–40. Metastatic spread classically begins with involvement retroperitoneal lymph nodes, metastases to liver, lung, bone, and brain representing advancing disease. Treatment based on pathologic analysis excised testicle presence elevated tumor markers. We report a case 34-year-old male presenting back pain who was found have right renal mass extension into inferior vena cava. Subsequent biopsy consistent seminoma. review this rare...
