• When writing formal articles many English writers often use long sentences with few punctuation marks. Since long sentences bring difficulty to machine translation systems, many researchers try to split them using punctuation marks before translation. But dealing with sentences with few punctuation marks is still intractable. In this paper we use a log linear model to insert commas into proper positions to split long sentence, trying to shorten the length of sub-sentence and benefit to machine translation. Experiment results show that our method can reasonably segment long sentences, and improve the quality of machine translation.
