In this paper, we give an overview of the ICT statistical machine translation systems for the evaluation campaign of the International Workshop on Spoken Language Transla-tion (IWSLT) 2007. In this year’s evaluation, we partici-pated in the Chinese-English transcript translation task, and developed three systems based on different techniques: a for-mally syntax-based system Bruin, an extended phrase-based system Confucius and a linguistically syntax-based system Lynx. We will describe the models of these three systems, and compare their performance in detail. We set Bruin as our primary system, which ranks 2 among the 15 primary results according to the official evaluation results. 1.
