    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we propose a generalized phrase extraction algorithm towards word alignment-free utilizing the fertility model to predict the width of the block, a distortion model to predict how close the centers of source and target phrases are, and a lexicon model for translational equivalence. The algorithm is a general framework, in which one could plug in other scores and word alignment to get better results.</Paragraph>
