  abstract =     "This article presents a new hypothesis alignment
                 method for combining outputs of multiple machine
                 translation (MT) systems. An indirect hidden Markov
                 model (IHMM) is proposed to address the synonym
                 matching and word ordering issues in hypothesis
                 alignment. Unlike traditional HMMs whose parameters are
                 trained via maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), the
                 parameters of the IHMM are estimated indirectly from a
                 variety of sources including word semantic similarity,
                 word surface similarity, and a distance-based
                 distortion penalty. The IHMM-based method significantly
                 outperforms the state-of-the-art, TER-based alignment
                 model in our experiments on NIST benchmark datasets.
                 Our combined SMT system using the proposed method
                 achieved the best Chinese-to-English translation result
                 in the constrained training track of the 2008 NIST Open
                 MT Evaluation.",
