Long Phrase Tables (Adequacy)

We evaluate the adequacy and the fluency of English translated sentences. We believe that adequacy is related to translation model $ P(E/J)$. Thus, we need to make long phrase tables to achieve high adequacy.

In similar language like English to German, word position change is very small. In such a case, short phrase table has little trouble. However, in Japanese to English translation, verbs are moved from their original position. So, we need to make long phrase tables.
