Training Phrase Translation Models with Leaving-One-Out

paper by Joern Wuebker, Arne Mauser and Hermann Ney
presented by Bushra Jawaid
report by Rudolf Rosa

Presentation

The paper was well presented. Bushra talked about the paper in great detail, even including some information from the related papers. However, this lead to a time shortage towards the end of the presentation.

Bushra managed to understand and explain the work of the authors, pointing out unclear passages, which were then addressed in the discussion.

Discussion

Many questions were raised during and after the presentation of the paper, most often by Martin Popel. Some of them were answered by Bushra, some of them by Martin, some by other participants, and several have been left unanswered.
The discussion also included mere comments, such as inacuracies in the paper.
