Abstract

In this paper, it is described how an Assamese sentence is translated to English using statistical machine translation. Statistical Machine Translation is the paradigm where translations from source to target language are based on statistical models. Moses is used as a platform for Statistical Machine Translation. GIZA++ is also used for word-alignment and IRSTLM for language model training. A Transliteration model is also integrated into the system to deal with out of vocabulary (OOV) words.
