Abstract: Finite mixture modelling is a standard pattern recognition technique. However, in statistical machine translation (SMT), the use of mixture modelling is currently being explored. Two main advantages of the mixture approach are first, its flexibility to find an appropriate tradeoff between model complexity and the amount of training data available and second, its capability to learn specific probability distributions that better fit subsets of the training dataset. This latter advantage is even more important in SMT, since it is widely accepted that most state-of-the-art translation models proposed have limited application to restricted semantic domains. In this work, we revisit the mixture extension of the well-known M21 translation model. The M2 mixture model is evaluated on a word alignment large-scale task obtaining encouraging results that prove the applicability of finite mixture modelling in SMT.
