Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for machine translation are provided. In some implementations a system is provided. The system includes a language model including a collection of n-grams from a corpus, each n-gram having a corresponding relative frequency in the corpus and an order n corresponding to a number of tokens in the n-gram, each n-gram corresponding to a backoff n-gram having an order of n-1 and a collection of backoff scores, each backoff score associated with an n-gram, the backoff score determined as a function of a backoff factor and a relative frequency of a corresponding backoff n-gram in the corpus.
Abstract:
Techniques for selectively distributing OCR and machine language translation tasks between a mobile computing device and servers includes receiving an image of an object comprising a text. The mobile computing device can determine a degree of optical character recognition (OCR) complexity for obtaining the text from the image. Based on this degree of OCR complexity, the mobile computing device and/or the server(s) can perform OCR to obtain an OCR text. The mobile computing device can determine a degree of translation complexity for translating the OCR text from its source language to a target language. Based on this degree of translation complexity, the mobile computing device and/or the server(s) can perform machine language translation of the OCR text from the source language to a target language to obtain a translated OCR text. The mobile computing device can then output the translated OCR text.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting alternative translations. In one aspect, a method includes receiving source language text; receiving translated text corresponding to the source language text from a machine translation system; receiving segmentation data for the translated text, wherein the segmentation data includes a first segmentation of the translated text, the first segmentation dividing the translated text into two or more segments; receiving one or more alternative translations for each of the two or more segments; presenting the source text and the translated text to a user in a user interface; and in response to a user selection of a first portion of the translated text, displaying, in the user interface, one or more alternative translations for a first segment to which the first portion of translated text corresponds according to the first segmentation.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for recognizing speech using a variable length of context. Speech data and data identifying a candidate transcription for the speech data are received. A phonetic representation for the candidate transcription is accessed. Multiple test sequences are extracted for a particular phone in the phonetic representation. Each of the multiple test sequences includes a different set of contextual phones surrounding the particular phone. Data indicating that an acoustic model includes data corresponding to one or more of the multiple test sequences is received. From among the one or more test sequences, the test sequence that includes the highest number of contextual phones is selected. A score for the candidate transcription is generated based on the data from the acoustic model that corresponds to the selected test sequence.
