This paper describes LIMSI's submissions to the news shared task at WMT'17 for English into Czech and Latvian, as well as related experiments.This year's novelties consist in the use of a neural machine translation system with a factored output predicting simultaneously a lemma decorated with morphological information and a fine-grained part-of-speech.Such a type of system drew our attention to the specific step of reinflection, where lemmas and parts-of-speech are transformed into fully inflected words.Finally, we ran experiments showing an efficient strategy for parameter initialization, as well as data filtering procedures.
