Abstract:
Statistical machine translation is often faced with the problem of combining training data from many diverse sources into a single translation
model which then has to translate sentences in a new domain. We propose a novel approach, ensemble decoding, which combines
a number of translation systems dynamically at the decoding step. In this paper, we evaluate performance on a domain adaptation setting where we translate sentences from the medical domain. Our experimental
results show that ensemble decoding outperforms various strong baselines including mixture models, the current state-of-the-art for domain
adaptation in machine translation.
