Pushdown automata in statistical machine translation (2014)
- YeGoblynQueenne 28d agoOpen access pdf from ACL anthology here: https://aclanthology.org/J14-3008/ https://aclanthology.org/J14-3008/ Btw, this is an interesting article to me. What was the motivation for posting on HN ... in 2026? Is there some background/ backstory to it?
- srean 28d agoI understand your curiosity but am glad that this was posted. A Markov chain equipped with a stack is a simple yet powerful combination for text generation. I think we need reminders that simple models can often be adequate and easy to debug and maintain, especially if you have a small team. Bleeds less cash too.
- YeGoblynQueenne 28d agoOh absolutely. I'm just curious because we never see articles like that on HN, so I wondered if something happened that made it newsworthy.
- srean 28d agoYeah that's what I thought.
