Abstract
Machine translation can be considered a highly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field because it is approached from the point of view of human translators, engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and linguists. One of the most popular approaches is the Statistical Machine Translation (smt) approach, which tries to cover translation in a holistic manner by learning from parallel corpus aligned at the sentence level. However, with this basic approach, there are some issues at each written linguistic level (i.e., orthographic, morphological, lexical, syntactic and semantic) that remain unsolved. Research in smt has continuously been focused on solving the different linguistic levels challenges. This article represents a survey of how the smt has been enhanced to perform translation correctly at all linguistic levels.

Syntactic discriminative language model rerankers for statistical machine translation
This article describes a method that successfully exploits syntactic features for n-best translation candidate reranking using perceptrons. We motivate the utility of syntax by demonstrating the superior performance of parsers over n-gram language ...
Dependency treelet translation: the convergence of statistical and example-based machine-translation?
We describe a novel approach to MT that combines the strengths of the two leading corpus-based approaches: Phrasal SMT and EBMT. We use a syntactically informed decoder and reordering model based on the source dependency tree, in combination with ...
A Survey of Orthographic Information in Machine Translation
AbstractMachine translation is one of the applications of natural language processing which has been explored in different languages. Recently researchers started paying attention towards machine translation for resource-poor languages and closely related ...
