Abstract

This paper describes the joint submission of the QUAERO project for the German→English translation task of the ACL 2013 Eighth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT 2013). The submission was a system combination of the output of four different translation systems provided by RWTH Aachen University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), LIMSI-CNRS and SYSTRAN Software, Inc. The translations were joined using the RWTH's system combination approach. Experimental results show improvements of up to 1.2 points in BLEU and 1.2 points in TER compared to the best single translation.
