Abstract

We describe the LIU systems for German-English and English-German translation submitted to the Shared Task of the Third Workshop of Statistical Machine Translation. The main features of the systems, as compared with the baseline, is the use of morphological pre- and post-processing, and a sequence model for German using morphologically rich parts-of-speech. It is shown that these additions lead to improved translations.
