| Abstract | To further increase flexibility, we incorporate cohesion as a decoder feature, creating a soft constraint . |
| Cohesive Decoding | 3.2 Soft Constraint |
| Conclusion | Our soft constraint produced improvements ranging between 0.5 and 1.1 BLEU points on sentences for which the baseline produces uncohesive translations. |
| Discussion | The cohesive system, even with a soft constraint , cannot reproduce the same movement, and returns a less grammatical translation. |
| Experiments | ilarly, with the soft constraint providing more stable, and generally better results. |
| Experiments | We confirmed these trends on our test set, but to conserve space, we provide detailed results for only the soft constraint . |
