The UZH System Combination System for WMT 2011
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the UZH system that was used for the WMT 2011 system combination shared task submission. We participated in the system combination task for the translation directions DE-EN and EN-DE. The system uses Moses as a backbone, with the outputs of the 2-3 best individual systems being integrated through additional phrase tables. The system compares well to other system combination submissions, with no other submission being significantly better. A BLEU-based comparison to the individual systems, however, indicates that it achieves no significant gains over the best individual system.

The RWTH System Combination System for WMT 2011
RWTH participated in the System Combination task of the Sixth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT 2011). For three language pairs, we combined 6 to 14 systems into a single consensus translation. A three-level metacombination scheme combining six different system combination setups with three different engines was applied on the French–English language pair. Depending on the langua...
متن کاملDescription of the JHU System Combination Scheme for WMT 2011
This paper describes the JHU system combination scheme used in WMT-11. The JHU system combination is based on confusion network alignment, and inherited the framework developed by (Karakos et al., 2008). We improved our core system combination algorithm by making use of TER-plus, which was originally designed for string alignment, for alignment of confusion networks. Experimental results on Fre...

This paper describes the development operated into MANY for the 2011 WMT system combination evaluation campaign. Hypotheses from French/English and En-glish/French MT systems were combined with a new version of MANY, an open source system combination software based on confusion networks decoding currently developed at LIUM. MANY has been updated in order to optimize decoder parameters with MERT...

This paper presents the submissions of the pattern recognition and human language technology (PRHLT) group to the system combination task of the sixth workshop on statistical machine translation (WMT 2011). Each submissions is generated by a multi-system minimum Bayes risk (MBR) technique. Our technique uses the MBR decision rule and a linear combination of the component systems’ probability di...
متن کاملCMU System Combination in WMT 2011
This paper describes our submissions, cmu-heafield-combo, to the ten tracks of the 2011 Workshop on Machine Translation’s system combination task. We show how the combination scheme operates by flexibly aligning system outputs then searching a space constructed from the alignments. Humans judged our combination the best on eight of ten tracks.
