... maximises the conditionallikelihood of the data, p(e|f ), where e and f are the English and foreign sentences, respectively. Our es-timation method is theoretically sound, avoiding the biases of the ... inside-outsideinference over the feature forest defined by the SCFG parse chart of f yielding the partition func-tion, ZΛ(f ), required for the log-likelihood, and the marginals, required for its derivatives.Efficiently ... train the system, the better the performance.However, as the performance is still increasing sig-nificantly when all the parseable sentences are used,it is clear that the system’s performance...
