Abstract

This paper presents the Carnegie Mellon University statistical transfer MT system submitted to the 2009 WMT shared task in French-to-English translation. We describe a syntax-based approach that incorporates both syntactic and non-syntactic phrase pairs in addition to a syntactic grammar. After reporting development test results, we conduct a preliminary analysis of the coverage and effectiveness of the system's components.
