In this method, the translation example is represented as a Tree String Correspondence (TSC), which is a triple consisting of a parse tree in the source language, a string in the target language, and the correspondence between the leaf node of the source-language tree and the substring of the target language string. An input sentence is first parsed into a tree. Then the TSC forest which best matches the input tree is searched for. Finally the translation is generated using a log-linear generation model to combine the target-language strings of the TSCs. Using BLEU as a metric, our method is significantly better than Pharaoh, which is a famous phrase-based statistical machine translation system.
