Machine Translation Books

Just want to collect Machine Translation related books in the literature:

1) "Statistical Machine Translation" by Philipp Koehn
--> will try to buy this book if I have money hehe :D.

2) TBA

Just an immediate thought about constraints in SMT decoding

Cohesive constraints in Beam Search Phrasal Decoding
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~nbach/papers/naacl2009-cohesion-8pages.pdf

Just think of whether other constraints (e.g. reordering, chunking, translation boundaries, ...) can be integrated into a beam search phrasal SMT decoding. (try to validate this later!).

Reordering:
http://www.spencegreen.com/pubs/naacl10-distortion.pdf
http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/J/J03/J03-1005.pdf
(Linguistically Annotated Reordering: http://www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~dyxiong/paper/cl-preprint.pdf)
--> Idea: given a set of reordering rules manually annotated by humans, the questions is how to use it during SMT decoding???

Translation Boundaries: http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/N/N10/N10-1016.pdf

Chunking: http://www.mt-archive.info/MTS-2009-Yahyaei.pdf
