We propose an extension of n-best re-ranking as a method of integrating such models into a statistical MT system and show that this method substantially outperforms standard n-best re-ranking. Our best performing model achieves a statistically significant improvement over the baseline MT system according to the BLEU metric. Human evaluation also confirms the results.}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/generating-case-markers-in-machine-translation/}, edition = {Proceedings of NAACL}, }
