| "abstract": "Most modern statistical machine translation systems are based on linear statistical models. One extremely effective method for estimating the model parameters is minimum error rate training (MERT), which is an efficient form of line optimisation adapted to the highly nonlinear objective functions used in machine translation. We describe a polynomial-time generalisation of line optimisation that computes the error surface over a plane embedded in parameter space. The description of this algorithm relies on convex geometry, which is the mathematics of polytopes and their faces. Using this geometric representation of MERT we investigate whether the optimisation of linear models is tractable in general. Previous work on finding optimal solutions in MERT (Galley and Quirk, 2011) established a worstcase complexity that was exponential in the number of sentences, in contrast we show that exponential dependence in the worst-case complexity is mainly in the number of features. Although our work is framed with respect to MERT, the convex geometric description is also applicable to other error-based training methods for linear models. We believe our analysis has important ramifications because it suggests that the current trend in building statistical machine translation systems by introducing a very large number of sparse features is inherently not robust.", |

The online nature of the optimiser results in complex implementations, therefore batch versions of MIRA have been proposed (Cherry and Foster, 2012; Gimpel and Smith, 2012) . Although MERT, LP-MERT, PRO, and MIRA carry out their search in very different ways, we can compare them in terms of the constraints they are attempting to satisfy. A feasible solution for LP-MERT is also an optimal solution for MERT, and vice versa. The constraints (Eqn. (5)) that define LP-MERT are a subset of the constraints (Eqn. (6)) that define PRO and so a feasible solution for PRO will also be feasible for LP-MERT; however the converse is not necessarily true. The constraints that define MIRA (Eqn. (7)) are similar to the LP-MERT constraints (5), although with the addition of slack variables and the \u2206 function to handle infeasible solutions. However, if a feasible solution is available for MIRA, then these extra quantities are unnecessary. With these quantities removed, then we recover a 'hard-margin' optimiser, which utilises the same constraint set as in LP-MERT. In the feasible case, the solution found by MIRA is also a solution for LP-MERT.", |

For brevity we omit the common sentence index, so that h i = h s,i . The system produces a set of four hypotheses which yield four feature vectors {h 1 , h 2 , h 3 , h 4 } (Table 1) . To this set of four hypotheses, we add a fifth hypothesis and feature vector h 5 to illustrate an infeasible solution. These feature vectors are plotted in Figure 1 . The feature vectors form a polytope H shaded in light blue. From Figure 1 we see that h 4 satisfies the conditions for a vertex in Eqn. 8, because we can draw a decision boundary that interests the vertex and no other h \u2208 H. We also note h 5 is not a vertex, and is redundant to the description of H. Figure 1 of Cer et al. (2008) actually shows a normal fan, although it is not described as such. We now describe how this geometric object is constructed step by step in Figure 2 . In Part (a) we identify the edge [h 4 , h 1 ] in R 2 with a decision boundary represented by a dashed line. We have also drawn a vector w normal to the decision boundary that satisfies Eqn. (8). This parameter would result in a tied model score such that wh 4 = wh 1 . When moving to (R 2 ) * we see that the normal cone N [h 4 ,h 1 ] is a ray parallel to w. This ray can be considered as the set of parameter vectors that yield the edge", |

Using the CUED Russian-to-English (Pino et al., 2013) entry to WMT'13 (Bojar et al., 2013) we build a tune set of 1502 sentences. The system uses 12 features which we initially tune with lattice MERT (Macherey et al., 2008) to get a parameter w (0) . Using this parameter we generate 1000-best lists. We then project the feature functions in the 1000-best lists to a 3-dimensional representation that includes the source-to-target phrase probability (UtoV), the word insertion penalty (WIP), and the model score due to w (0) . We use the Minkowski sum algorithm to compute BLEU as \u03b3 \u2208 (R 2 ) * is applied to the parameters from w (0) . Figure 4 displays some of the characteristics of the algorithm 1 . This plot can be interpreted as a 3-dimensional version of Figure 3 in Macherey et al. (2008) where we represent the BLEU score as a heatmap instead of a third axis. Execution was on 12 CPU cores, leading to the distinct search regions, demonstrating the parallel nature of the algorithm. Weibel (2010) uses a depth-first enumeration order of G(H), hence the narrow and deep exploration of (R D ) * . A breadth-first ordering would focus on cones closer to w (0) . To our knowledge, this is the first description of a generalised line optimisation algorithm that can search all the parameters in a plane in polynomial time. Extensions to higher dimensional search are straightforward.", |

| "text": "The above analysis suggest a need for regularisation in training with high dimensional feature vectors. Galley et al. (2013) note that regularisation is hard to apply to linear models due to the magnitude invariance of w in Eqn. (1). Figure 2 makes the difficulty clear: the normal cones are determined entirely by the feature vectors of the training samples, and within any particular normal cone a parameter vector can be chosen with arbitrary magnitude. This renders schemes such as L1 or L2 normalisation ineffective. To avoid this, Galley et al. (2013) describe a regularisation scheme for line optimisation that encourages the optimal parameter to be found close to w (0) . The motivation is that w (0) should be a trusted initial point, perhaps taken from a lowerdimensional model. We briefly discuss the challenges of doing this sort of regularisation in MERT. In Figure 5 we reproduce the normal fan from Figure 2 . In this diagram we represent the set of parameters considered by a line optimisation as a thick red line. Let us assume that both e 1 and e 2 have a similarly low error count. Under the regularisation scheme of Galley et al. (2013) we have a choice of w (1) or w (2) , which are equidistant from w (0) . In this affine projection of parameter space it is unclear which one is the optimum. However, if we consider the normal fan as a whole we can clearly see that w \u2208 N {h i } is the optimal point under the regularisation. However, it is not obvious in the projected parameter space that\u0175 is the better choice. This analysis suggests that direct intervention, e.g. monitoring BLEU on a held-out set, may be more effective in avoiding overtraining.", |
