Online large-margin training for statistical machine translation
Summary
This paper basically introduces an online discriminative large-margin training approach to statistical machine translation. The authors achieved the then state of the art performance on an Arabic-English translation task by tuning a combination of millions of features in an MT system. By following this approach the authors also addressed the problem of scaling machine translation systems with a large number of features of the order of millions.
