Abstract

We present a description of the implementation of the open source decoder for statistical machine translation which has become popular with many researchers in SMT research. The goal of the project is to create an open, high quality phrase-based decoder which can reduce the time and barrier to entry for researchers wishing to do SMT research. We discuss the major design objective for the Moses decoder, its performance relative to other SMT decoders, and the steps we are taking to ensure that its success will continue.
