Abstract
In this paper, we present a statistical approach to machine translation. We describe the application of our approach to translation from French to English and give preliminary results. 1

This paper describes a number of statistical models for use in speech recognition, with special attention to determining the parameters for such models from sparse data, and describes two decoding methods appropriate for constrained artificial languages and one appropriate for more realistic decoding tasks.
A stochastic approach to parsing

Grammatical parsing -resolving unanalysed linear sequences of words into meaningful grammatical structures -can be regarded as a perception problem logically analogous to those just cited, and simulated annealing holds great promise as a parsing technique.
