The paper studies why, and proposes a simpler method. Instead of forcing the two parse trees to match, it keeps the hierarchical phrase-based model (Hiero) and adds syntactic features to it: whether a span's source… 2. **[Hierarchical Phrase-Based Translation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/chiang-2007-hierarchical-phrase-based-translation/)** *(2007)* This is the full version of the hierarchical model. Rules are extracted from a parallel text with no syntactic annotation, under length and nonterminal limits on the phrases they contain. The model is a synchronous context-free grammar with a log-linear score over features (phrase and lexical weights in both… 3. **[Parsing Arabic Dialects](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2006-chiang-parsing-arabic-dialects/)** *(2006)* Levantine Arabic (LA) is spoken, unwritten, and has almost no treebank, while MSA has the Penn Arabic Treebank (about 17,600 training sentences). 4. **[A Hierarchical Phrase-Based Model for Statistical Machine Translation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/chiang-2005-hierarchical-phrase-based-model-statistical/)** *(2005)* Chiang extends phrase-based translation with hierarchical phrases: phrase pairs that contain gaps filled by other phrase pairs. ## Co-authors (4) - [Mona Diab](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/mona-diab/) - [Nizar Habash](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/nizar-habash/) - [Owen Rambow](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/owen-rambow/) - Safiullah Shareef - [← previous David Carter](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/david-carter/) - [next → David M.
