 \chapter{Synchronous context free grammars} \label{sec:scfg}
 
-%\subsubsection*{Synchronous context free grammar} \label{sec:scfg}

+The translation models used in this workshop are synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs).
+SCFGs \cite{lewis68scfg} generalizes context-free grammars to generate strings concurrently in two (or more) languages. A string pair is generated by applying a series of paired rewrite rules of the form, $X \rightarrow \langle \mathbf{e}, \mathbf{f}, \mathbf{a} \rangle$, where $X$ is a non-terminal, $\mathbf{e}$ and $\mathbf{f}$ are strings of terminals and non-terminals and $\mathbf{a}$ specifies a one-to-one alignment between non-terminals in $\mathbf{e}$ and $\mathbf{f}$.
+In the statistical machine translation, the two righthand sides of SCFG rules represent the source and target languages.  The process of translation occurs by parsing the source sentence, which induces a parallel tree structure and translation in the target language \cite{chiang07hierarchical}.  
+Terminal are rewritten as pairs of strings of terminal symbols in the source and target languages.  Additionally, one side of a terminal expansion may be the special symbol $\epsilon$, which indicates a null alignment which permits arbitrary insertions and deletions.
+Figure \ref{fig:toy-scfg} gives an example SCFG between Urdu and English.  Figure \ref{fig:toy-scfg-parse} shows how the SCFG is used to derive the translation of an input Urdu sentence.

-The translation models discussed explored in this workshop are based on synchronous grammars. 
-Here we provide a short definition of the formalism we've employed: synchronous context free grammar (SCFG).
 
-A synchronous context free grammar (SCFG, \cite{lewis68scfg}) generalizes context-free grammars to generate strings concurrently in two (or more) languages. A string pair is generated by applying a series of paired rewrite rules of the form, $X \rightarrow \langle \mathbf{e}, \mathbf{f}, \mathbf{a} \rangle$, where $X$ is a non-terminal, $\mathbf{e}$ and $\mathbf{f}$ are strings of terminals and non-terminals and $\mathbf{a}$ specifies a one-to-one alignment between non-terminals in $\mathbf{e}$ and $\mathbf{f}$.
-In the context of SMT, by assigning the source and target languages to the respective sides of a probabilistic SCFG it is possible to describe translation as the process of parsing the source sentence, which induces a parallel tree structure and translation in the target language \cite{chiang07hierarchical}.  
-Terminal are rewritten as pairs of strings of terminal symbols in the source and target languages.  Additionally, one side of a terminal expansion may be the special symbol $\epsilon$, which indicates a null alignment which permits arbitrary insertions and deletions.
-Figure \ref{fig:intro_example_derivation} is an example derivation for Chinese to English translation using an SCFG of the form that I propose to learn using non-parametric Bayesian models.

 The generative story is as follows. 
 In the beginning was the grammar, in which we allow  two types of rules: {\emph non-terminal} and {\emph terminal} expansions.
