Abstract

FBK participated in the WMT 2010 Machine Translation shared task with phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation systems based on the Moses decoder for English-German and German-English translation. Our work concentrates on exploiting the available language modelling resources by using linear mixtures of large 6-gram language models and on addressing linguistic differences between English and German with methods based on word lattices. In particular, we use lattices to integrate a morphological analyser for German into our system, and we present some initial work on rule-based word reordering.
