This paper describes the HKUST experiments in the IWSLT 2007 evaluation campaign on spoken lan-guage translation. Our primary objective was to com-pare the open-source phrase-based statistical machine translation toolkit Moses against Pharaoh. We focused on Chinese to English translation, but we also report re-sults on the Arabic to English, Italian to English, and Japanese to English tasks. 1.
