Abstract
This is the problem of domain adaptation .
Abstract
The empirical evaluation on ACE 2005 domains shows that a suitable combination of syntax and lexical generalization is very promising for domain adaptation .
Introduction
This is the problem of domain adaptation (DA) or transfer learning (TL).
Introduction
Technically, domain adaptation addresses the problem of leam-ing when the assumption of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.)

Domain adaptation has been studied extensively during the last couple of years for various NLP tasks, e.g.

Conclusions and Future Work
Many other domain adaptations techniques exist and may produce language models with better performance.
Language Model Evaluation: Perplexity
This approach has the benefit of simplicity, however, better performance for combining related corpora has been seen by domain adaptation techniques which combine the data in more structured ways (Bacchiani and Roark, 2003).
Language Model Evaluation: Perplexity
Our goal for this paper is not to explore domain adaptation techniques, but to determine if normal data is useful for the simple language modeling task.
Language Model Evaluation: Perplexity
if domain adaptation techniques may be useful, we also investigated a linearly interpolated language model.
Related Work
If we view the normal data as out-of-domain data, then the problem of combining simple and normal data is similar to the language model domain adaption problem (Suzuki and Gao, 2005), in particular cross-domain adaptation (Bellegarda, 2004) where a domain-specific model is improved by incorporating additional general data.

Abstract
While domain adaptation techniques for SMT have proven to be effective at improving translation quality, their practicality for a multi-domain environment is often limited because of the computational and human costs of developing and maintaining multiple systems adapted to different domains.
Introduction
The effectiveness of domain adaptation approaches such as mixture-modeling (Foster and Kuhn, 2007) has been established, and has led to research on a wide array of adaptation techniques in SMT, for instance (Matsoukas et al., 2009; Shah et al., 2012).
Introduction
Therefore, when working with multiple and/or unlabelled domains, domain adaptation is often impractical for a number of reasons.
Introduction
Secondly, domain adaptation bears a risk of performance loss.
Translation Model Architecture
Our immediate purpose for this paper is domain adaptation in a multi-domain environment, but the delay of the feature computation has other potential applications, e.g.
Translation Model Architecture
The goal is to perform domain adaptation without requiring domain labels or user input, neither for development nor decoding.
Translation Model Architecture
Our theoretical expectation is that domain adaptation will fail to perform well if the test data is from

Experiment
Even the performance of the pialign-linear is better than the Baseline GIZA-linear’s, which means that phrase pair extraction with hierarchical phrasal ITGs and sampling is more suitable for domain adaptation tasks than the combination GIZA++ and a heuristic method.
Hierarchical Phrase Table Combination
In traditional domain adaptation approaches, phrase pairs are extracted together with their probabilities and/or frequencies so that the extracted phrase pairs are merged uniformly or after scaling.
Introduction
Traditional domain adaption methods for SMT are also not adequate in this scenario.
Related Work
A number of approaches have been proposed to make use of the full potential of the available parallel sentences from various domains, such as domain adaptation and incremental learning for SMT.
Related Work
In the case of the previous work on translation modeling, mixed methods have been investigated for domain adaptation in SMT by adding domain information as additional labels to the original phrase table (Foster and Kuhn, 2007).
Related Work
As a way to choose the right domain for the domain adaption , a classifier-based method and a feature-based method have been proposed.

Abstract
We apply our method for the domain adaptation task and the extensive experiments show that our proposed method can substantially improve the translation quality.
Conclusion and Future Work
Extensive experiments on domain adaptation have shown that our method can significantly outperform previous methods which also focus on exploring the in-domain lexicon and monolingual data.
Experiments
Our purpose is to induce phrase pairs to improve translation quality for domain adaptation .
Introduction
Finally, they used the learned translation model directly to translate unseen data (Ravi and Knight, 2011; Nuhn et al., 2012) or incorporated the learned bilingual lexicon as a new in-domain translation resource into the phrase-based model which is trained with out-of-domain data to improve the domain adaptation performance in machine translation (Dou and Knight, 2012).
Introduction
The induced phrase-based model will be used to help domain adaptation for machine translation.
Introduction
Section 6 will show the detailed experiments for the task of domain adaptation .
Probabilistic Bilingual Lexicon Acquisition
In order to induce the phrase pairs from the in-domain monolingual data for domain adaptation , the probabilistic bilingual lexicon is essential.

Conclusion and Future Work
Our strategy, therefore, enables us to build a classifier more domain adaptive and up to date.
Experiments
The classifier performs much worse on the domains of chemistry, physics and machinery, it indicates the importance of domain adaptation for word segmentation (Gao et al., 2004; Ma and Way, 2009; Gao et al., 2010).
Experiments
What is more, since the text on Internet is wide-coveraged and real-time updated, our strategy also helps a word segmenter be more domain adaptive and up to date.
Learning with Natural Annotations
It probably provides a simple and effective domain adaptation strategy for already trained models.

Abstract
Additionally, we design a cus-tomizable framework to address the often overlooked concept of domain adaptability , and illustrate that the system allows for transfer to new domains with a minimal amount of data and effort.

Analysis
To understand the domain adaptation issue we compared the nonzero weights in the discriminative phrase table (PT) for Ar—En models tuned on bitext5k and MT05/6/ 8.
Introduction
Second, large bitexts often comprise many text genres (Haddow and Koehn, 2012), a virtue for classical dense MT models but a curse for high dimensional models: bitext tuning can lead to a significant domain adaptation problem when evaluating on standard test sets.
