8. Experiment Objective Objective Determine the effect of pooling parallel data among multiple data providers within a domain, measured by the translation quality of an SMT system trained with that data. 8
17. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese German 14 More than 8 point gain compared to system built without the shared data
18. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese Best results are achieved using the maximum available data within the domain, using custom lambda training German 15
19. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese Weight training (lambda training) without diversity in the training data has very little effect German 16 The diversity aspect was somewhat a surprise for us. Microsoft’s large data pool by itself did not give Sybase the hoped-for boost.
20. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese Lambda training with in-domain diversity has a significant positive effect for the lambda target, and a significant negative effect for everyone else German 17
21. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese A system can be customized with small amounts of target language material, as long as there is a diverse set of in-domain parallel data available German 18
22. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese Small data providers benefit more from sharing than large data providers, but all benefit German 19
23. Experiment Results, measured in BLEU Chinese This is the best German Sybase system we could have built without TAUS German 20

Example SRC The Monitor collects metrics and performance data from the databases and MobiLink servers running on other computers, while a separate computer accesses the Monitor via a web browser. 1 Der Monitor sammelt Metriken und Leistungsdaten von Datenbanken und MobiLink-Servern, die auf anderen Computern ausführen, während auf ein separater Computer greift auf den Monitor über einen Web-Browser. 2a Der Monitor sammelt Metriken und Performance-Daten von der Datenbanken und MobiLink-Server auf anderen Computern ausgeführt werden, während ein separater Computer den Monitor über einen Webbrowser zugreift. 2b Der Monitor sammelt Metriken und Performance-Daten von der Datenbanken und MobiLink-Server auf anderen Computern ausgeführt werden, während ein separater Computer den Monitor über einen Webbrowser zugreift. 3a Der Monitor sammelt Metriken und Performance-Daten von der Datenbanken und MobiLink-Server auf anderen Computern ausgeführt werden, während ein separater Computer den Monitor über einen Webbrowser zugreift. 3b Der Monitor sammelt Kriterien und Performance-Daten aus der Datenbanken und MobiLink-Server auf anderen Computern ausgeführt werden, während ein separater Computer des Monitors über einen Webbrowser zugreift.

31. Weight training (Lambda training) without diversity in the training data has almost no effect
32. Lambda training with in-domain diversity has a significant positive effect for the lambda target, and a significant negative effect for everyone else
33. A system can be customized with small amounts of target language material, as long as there is a diverse set of in-domain parallel data available
34. Best results are achieved using the maximum available data within the domain, using custom lambda training
35. Small data providers benefit more from sharing than large data providers, but all benefit24

37. An MT system trained with the combined data can deliver significantly improved translation quality, compared to a system trained only with the provider’s own data plus baseline training.
38. Customization via a separate target language model and lambda training works25

Editor's Notes
2 things:Show that pooling works, especially for data owners with less bitext than MicrosoftCustomization gives the data a boost
