Confusion network decoding has been the most successful approach in combining outputs from multiple machine translation (MT) systems in the recent DARPA GALE and NIST Open MT evaluations. Due to the varying word order between outputs from different MT systems, the hypothesis alignment presents the biggest challenge in confusion network decoding. This paper describes an incremental alignment method to build confusion networks based on the translation edit rate (TER) algorithm. This new algorithm yields significant BLEU score improvements over other recent alignment methods on the GALE test sets and was used in BBN's submission to the WMT08 shared translation task.
