Abstract

This paper seeks to complement the current trend of adding more structure to Statistical Machine Translation systems, by exploring the opposite direction: adding statistical components to a Transfer-Based MT system. Initial results on the BTEC data show significant improvement according to three automatic evaluation metrics (BLEU, NIST and METEOR).
