System Description: Dependency-based Pre-ordering for Japanese-Chinese Machine Translation

摘要

This paper describes the Beijing Jiaotong University Japanese-Chinese machine translation system which participated in the 1st Workshop on Asian Translation (WAT 2014). We propose a pre-ordering approach based on dependency parsing for Japanese-Chinese statistical machine translation (SMT). Our system achieves a BLEU of 24.12 and a RIBES of 79.48 on the Japanese-Chinese translation task in the official evaluation.
