Hybrid Machine Translation focuses on combining the best properties of
different Machine Translation (MT) paradigms. Nowadays, it is very popular
to include linguistic features in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT)
systems or to modify the standard Rule-based Machine Translation (RBMT)
architecture to include statistical knowledge. Other ways of hybridization
include the system combination techniques which may combine a rich variety
of translation paradigms.
This special issue in the prestigious Computer Speech and Language journal
will cover different approaches from Hybrid Machine Translation and take
advantage of the latest and leading research to discuss the progress in the
field.
This special issue invites contributions related to (but not limited):
1.
theoretical and experimental design of hybrid MT architectures
2.
experimental results with hybrid MT systems guided by corpus-based or
rule-based systems
3.
introduction of linguistics in corpus-based approaches
4.
rule-based systems extended or built with statistical information
5.
induction of lexical or grammatical transfer rules from corpora
6.
description of open source tools and language resources for hybrid MT
7.
description of computationally efficient algorithms for hybrid MT
8.
applications of hybrid MT systems
9.
hybrid methods applied to spoken language translation (SLT)
10.
hybrid evaluation methods
11.
system combination of different MT and SLT paradigms.

Hi James,
There has been a vast literature on adaptation techniques for SMT in
recent years.
Some reading suggestions:
http://www.statmt.org/wmt07/pdf/WMT17.pdf
http://www.statmt.org/wmt09/pdf/WMT-0932.pdf
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1870702
http://www.mt-archive.info/IWSLT-2011-Bisazza.pdf
http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P12-1099
http://amta2012.amtaweb.org/AMTA2012Files/papers/115.pdf
http://amta2012.amtaweb.org/AMTA2012Files/papers/152.pdf
http://www.hltpr.rwth-aachen.de/publications/download/832/Mansour-IWSLT-2012.pdf
http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P/P13/P13-1141.pdf
See also http://www.statmt.org/survey/Topic/DomainAdaptation .
You'll be able to find many more interesting papers about that topic.
Not sure to what extent your idea differs from what has been suggested
in previous work.
Regarding your question about distortion, you may also want to consult
the literature first. Philipp Koehn wrote a nice textbook about all the
basics of SMT: http://www.statmt.org/book/
Cheers,
Matthias

A phrase table could have multiple columns giving different scores for different probabilities from different alignments, different corpora, different domains etc. Recent work at Edinburgh, Cambridge and Sheffield has had some emphasis on adaptation of models for speech recognition purposes. I guess a similar principle could be applied to SMT. Given a text from some unknown domain the engine could perform some automated recognition test to guess which translation model best fits the text to be translated. A primitive form of automatic domain recognition and adaptation if you like.

i don't think the EMS supports source-syntax models. You will have to train
the models manually.
Don't be surprised if the BLEU is low, most syntax systems achieve lower
bleu score than phrase-based and hiero models.
