A parser error then becomes a translation error. The paper proposes decoding over a packed forest, a compact graph that holds exponentially many parses, instead of the single tree. A k-best list is shown to be a poor substitute: a 50-best… 4. **[Statistical Syntax-Directed Translation with Extended Domain of Locality](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/huang-2006-statistical-syntax-directed-translation-extended/)** *(2006)* The paper models syntax-directed translation as a tree-to-string transducer whose source side has multi-level trees, so each rule can cover a larger piece of the parse than a one-level rule. ## Co-authors (7) - [Aravind Joshi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aravind-joshi/) - Haitao Mi - Kai Zhao - [Kevin Knight](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kevin-knight/) - [Qun Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qun-liu/) - Suphan Fayong - Yang Guo ## More papers in the library (4) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [STACL: Simultaneous Translation with Implicit Anticipation and Controllable Latency using Prefix-to-Prefix Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2019-stacl-simultaneous-translation-implicit-anticipation/) — Mingbo Ma, Liang Huang, Hao Xiong, et al. · 2019 - [Binarization of Synchronous Context-Free Grammars](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/huang-2009-binarization-synchronous-context-free-grammars/) — Liang Huang, Hao Zhang, Daniel Gildea, et al. · 2009 - [Forest-based Translation Rule Extraction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mi-2008-forest-based-translation-rule-extraction/) — Haitao Mi, Liang Huang · 2008 - [Forest Rescoring: Faster Decoding with Integrated Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/huang-2007-forest-rescoring-faster-decoding-integrated/) — Liang Huang, David Chiang · 2007
