Abstract

This paper describes the NICT statistical machine translation (SMT) system used for the WMT 2009 Shared Task (WMT09) evaluation. We participated in the Spanish-English translation task. The focus of this year's participation was to investigate model adaptation and transliteration techniques in order to improve the translation quality of the baseline phrase-based SMT system.
