  1. A Statistical Approach to Machine Translation (1990 · 2,074 citations)
    The authors from IBM return to an old idea of Warren Weaver: machine translation can be done statistically rather than with hand-written rules.
  2. A Statistical Approach to Language Translation (1988 · 341 citations)
    The paper proposes treating French-to-English machine translation as a statistical learning problem rather than one solved by hand-written grammars or an interlingua.
