This chapter provides an introduction to the main aspects of statistical machine translation (SMT). The discussions cover automatic evaluation of machine translation output, language modeling, word-based and phrase-based translation models, and the use of syntax in machine translation. It considers some recent directions of research that may gain importance. It also situates statistical machine translation in the general context of machine learning research, emphasizing similarities and differences with standard machine learning problems and practice.Less

Some years ago, Clark broached a complementarian model of language, in contrast to a more traditional translation model, which he then linked to the hypothesis of extended cognition. This chapter’s review of this theory begins with an invitation to clarify the complementarian model with respect to a traditional distinction between cognition and behavior. It will next provide some reason to revise, or perhaps merely clarify, the putative role of language in the exercise of some metacognitive abilities. Then it will revisit what looks to be a problematic argument for extended cognition.Less
