Experimenting with phrase-based statistical translation within the IWSLT 2004 Chinese-to-English shared translation task.
Philippe Langlais, Michael H. Carl, Oliver Streiter · IWSLT · 2004
This paper describes the system we built for the Chinese to English track of the IWSLT 2004 evaluation campaign. A one month effort was devoted to this exercise, starting from scratch and making use as much as possible of freely available packages. We show that a decent phrase-based translation engine can be built within this short time frame.
