This paper reports on the participation of ITC-irst to the evaluation campaign of the International Workshop on Spo-ken Language Translation 2006. Our two-pass system is the evolution of the one we employed for the 2005 campaign: in the first pass, an N-best list of translations is generated for each source sentence by means of a beam-search decoder; in the second pass, N-best lists are rescored and reranked ex-ploiting additional feature functions. Main updates brought to the 2005 system involve novel additional features which are here described. Results on development sets are analyzed and commented. 1.
