چکیده

This paper present the University of Washington’s submission to the 2008 ACL SMT shared machine translation task. Two systems, for English-toSpanish and German-to-Spanish translation are described. Our main focus was on testing a novel boosting framework for N-best list reranking and on handling German morphology in the German-toSpanish system. While boosted N-best list reranking did not yield any improvements for this task, simplifying German morphology as part of the preprocessing step did result in significant gains.
