Abstract:In this paper, based on the investigation of domain adaptation for feature weight, the study proposes to use a co-training framework to handle domain adaptation for feature weight, i.e. The study uses the translation results from another heterogeneous decoder as pseudo references and adds them to the development data set for minimum error rate training to bias the feature weight to the domain of test data set. Furthermore, the study uses a minimum Bayes- Risk combination for pseudo reference selection, which can pick proper translation results from the translation candidates from both decoders to smooth the training process. Experimental results show that this co-training method with a minimum Bayes-Risk combination can yield significant improvements in target domain.
