This is the code for an HMM word alignment system for statistical machine
translation. It was used for experiments described in:
The code is here for archival purposes. I haven’t used it in quite a while
and I do not support it or answer questions about it. Though not heavily
documented, I believe it’s reasonably easy to understand. If you are looking
at the code because you want to understand the HMM alignment algorithm, I
highly recommend that you implement it yourself. As a starting point,
you could follow these instructions .
I’m distributing this code under terms of an MIT/X11 license (below).
You’re free to do whatever you want with it. However, I request that any
academic publications resulting from its use please cite the above paper.
