Hierarchical Phrase-based Translation
Hierarchical phrase-based translation combines the strengths of phrase-based and syntax-based translation. It uses phrases (segments or blocks of words) as units for translation and uses synchronous context-free grammars as rules(syntax-based translation). Chiang et al. (2005) introduces Hiero as an example for this idea.
