Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for language translation are disclosed. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes accessing a hypothesis space, where the hypothesis space represents a plurality of candidate translations; performing decoding on the hypothesis space to obtain a translation hypothesis that minimizes an expected error in classification calculated relative to an evidence space; and providing the obtained translation hypothesis for use by a user as a suggested translation in a target translation.
