Abstract

This paper describes the joint QUAERO submission to the WMT 2012 machine translation evaluation. Four groups (RWTH Aachen University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, LIMSI-CNRS, and SYSTRAN) of the QUAERO project submitted a joint translation for the WMT German→English task. Each group translated the data sets with their own systems and finally the RWTH system combination combined these translations in our final submission. Experimental results show improvements of up to 1.7 points in Bleu and 3.4 points in Ter compared to the best single system.
