We present a transliteration system that introduces minimum description length training for transliteration and combines it with discriminative modeling. We apply the proposed approach to transliteration from English to 8 non-Latin scripts, with promising results.
A Minimum Description Length (MDL) approach to transliteration is described in REF .
