The QT21 Combined Machine Translation System for English to Latvian

Miguel Angel Rios Gaona

Abstract:

This paper describes the joint submission of the QT21 projects for the
English→Latvian translation task of the
EMNLP 2017 Second Conference on Machine Translation (WMT 2017). The submission is a system combination which
combines seven different statistical machine translation systems provided by the
different groups.
The systems are combined using either
RWTH’s system combination approach,
or USFD’s consensus-based systemselection approach. The final submission
shows an improvement of 0.5 BLEU
compared to the best single system on
newstest2017.
