An adapter for a text to text training. A main corpus is used for training, and a domain specific corpus is used to adapt the main corpus according to the training information in the domain specific corpus. The adaptation is carried out using a technique that may be faster than the main training. The parameter set from the main training is adapted using the domain specific part.

Adapter for allowing both online and offline training of a text to text system

Parallelization of word alignment for a text-to-text operation. The training data is divided into multiple groups, and training is carried out of each group on separate processors. Different techniques can be carried out to increase the speed of the processing. The hookups can be done only once for all of multiple different iterations. Moreover, parallel operations can apply only to the counts, since this may be the most time-consuming part.
