Abstract. This paper describes our participation (NJU-NLP) in the Chinese-to-English Progress Test of the NIST Open MT09 evaluation. We built a phrase-based machine translation system with the help of MOSES and tried several methods to improve the result. Our efforts include pre-segmenting long train sentence pairs into shorter ones, phrase table smoothing, phrase table filtering. Details of these techniques as well as our evaluation results are reported.
