2010 Failures in English-Czech Phrase-Based MT
Ondřej Bojar, Kamil Kos · Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) · 2010
The paper describes our experiments with English-Czech machine translation for WMT10 in 2010. Focusing primarily on the translation to Czech, our additions to the standard Moses phrase-based MT pipeline include two-step translation to overcome target-side data sparseness and optimization towards SemPOS, a metric better suited for evaluating Czech. Unfortunately, none of the approaches bring a significant improvement over our standard setup.
