  9. E' necessario incoraggiare tale mobilità garantendo la sicurezza dei percorsi professionali Reordering Constraints #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 9 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  10. E' necessario incoraggiare tale mobilità garantendo la sicurezza dei percorsi professionali Reordering Constraints #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 D(wx,wy)=|y-x-1| Source-to-Source distortion 10 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  11. E' necessario incoraggiare tale mobilità garantendo la sicurezza dei percorsi professionali DL: distortion limit Reordering Constraints #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 D(wx,wy)=|y-x-1| DL=3 #perm ≈7,000 Source-to-Source distortion 11 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  12. The problem with DL… Arabic-English EN EN AR AR 12 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  13. The problem with DL… German-English EN EN DE DE 13 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  14. #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 D(wx,wy)=|y-x-1| DL=3 #perm ≈7,000 Current solution Increasing the DLimit! Source-to-Source distortion 14 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  15. #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 D(wx,wy)=|y-x-1| DL=3 #perm ≈7,000 DL=7 #perm ≈7,000,000 Current solution Increasing the DLimit! • Coarse reordering • space definition: • slower decoding • worse translations Source-to-Source distortion 15 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  16. Observations • Word reordering is difficult! • The existing word reordering models are not perfect, but they are expected to guide search over huge search spaces one way to go: our way: • design a perfect model • problem: many have already tried and failed • simplify the task for the existing reordering models 16 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  17. Working hypotheses • A better definition of the reordering search space (i.e. constraints) can simplify the task of the reordering model • (Shallow) linguistic knowledge can help us to refine the reordering search space for a given language pair 17 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  18. Outline • The problem • The solutions: • verbreorderinglattices • modifieddistortionmatrices • dynamicallypruning the reordering space • Comparative evaluation & conclusions 18 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  19. Outline Bisazza and Federico, Chunk-based Verb Reordering in VSO Sentences for Arabic-English, WMT 2010 • The problem • The solutions: • verbreorderinglattices • modifieddistortionmatrices • dynamicallypruning the reordering space • Comparative evaluation & conclusions Bisazza, Pighin, Federico, Chunk-Lattices for Verb Reordering in Arabic-English Statistical Machine Translation, MT Journal 2012 19 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  20. Idea: keep a low distortion limit and … #perm = |w|! ≈40,000,000 D(wx,wy)=|y-x-1| DL=3 #perm ≈7,000 DL=7 #perm ≈7,000,000 … modify the input to allow only specific long reorderings Source-to-Source distortion 20 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  21. Reordering patterns in Arabic-English • Example of VSO sentences: • the Arabicverbisanticipatedwrt the English order • Typical PSMT outputs: • *The Moroccan monarch King Mohamed VI __ his support to… • *He renewed the Moroccan monarch King Mohamed VI his support to… 21 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  22. Working hypothesis • Uneven distribution of long and short-range word movements: • few long: • verb-subject-object sentences • many short: • adjective-noun • head-initial genitive constructions (idafa) We try to model them explicitly! We assume they are well handled in standard PSMT 22 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  23. Chunk-based fuzzy reordering rules • Shallow syntax chunking: • cheaper and easier than deep parsing • constrains reorderings in a softer way • Fuzzy(non-determinisic) reordering rules: • generate N permutations for each matching sequence • final reordering decision is taken during translation, • guided by all SMT models (reoM, LM...) • Few rules for language pair, to only capture long reordering 23 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  24. Chunk-based fuzzy reordering rules Move verb chunk ahead by 1 to N chunks … CH(*) CH(V) CH(*) CH(*) CH(*) CH(*) CH(*) … CH(V) CH(*) … CH(*) CH(*) CH(*) CH(*) … CH(*) Move verb chunk and following chunk ahead by 1 to N chunks 24 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  25. Chunk-based verb reordering in parallel data The optimal reordering is the one that minimizes total distortion 25 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  26. Chunk-based verb reordering in test data Move verb chunk Move verb chunk andfollowing chunk • Verb chunk • Other chunks 26 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  27. Experiments • Task: NIST-MT09 (news translation) • Systems based on Moses, include lexicalized phrase reordering models [Tillmann 04; Koehn & al 05] • Non-monotonic lattice decoding [Dyer & al 08] • Evaluation by • - BLEU [Papineni & al 01] for lexical match & local order • - KRS [Birch & al 10]for global order 27 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  28. Arabic-English: Translation Quality +0.5 BLEU +0.4 KRS Test set: eval09-nw Lattices always used with pre-ordered training Oracle: test pre-ordered looking at reference (more details on lattice pruning in the thesis) 28 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

Arabic-English: -0.1 BLEU -0.3 KRS Translation Quality Translation Time Decoding Pruning Test set: eval09-nw Lattices always used with pre-ordered training Oracle: test pre-ordered looking at reference (more details on lattice pruning in the thesis) 29 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013

  30. Lessons learned limiting long reordering of a few chunks only use lattice to represent extra reordering decoding slow down Can we do better? Observation: lattice topology basically distorts word-to-word distances, i.e. during decoding some distant positions become closer Can we achieve the same effect more directly? 30 Arianna Bisazza – PhD Thesis – 19 April 2013
