Abstract

This paper describes the French-English translation system developed by the Avenue research group at Carnegie Mellon University for the Seventh Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (NAACL WMT12). We present a method for training data selection, a description of our hierarchical phrase-based translation system, and a discussion of the impact of data size on best practice for system building.
