Over the past few days, I have attempted to think deeply about the Noisy Channel model, which you present here, and which also holds sway in POS-tagging, Named Entity Recognition, and Speech Recogntion. You discuss this in discussing P(E|F)=P(F|E).P(E) and by asking why we would not use P(E|F) directly. I would very much like to discuss this with someone knowledgeable.

More recent iterations of statistical machine translation incorporate much more linguistics. But it seems like you get a much bigger gain by starting with statistical ideas, and then later grafting on the linguistic ideas, not the other way round. I found this very surprising.
