These models are combined with several other knowledge sources in a log-linear manner. The weights of the individual components in the log-linear model are set by an automatic parameter-tuning method. We give a brief overview of the components of the system and discuss its performance at IWSLT in two tracks: Japanese to English (supplied data and tools), and English to Chinese (supplied data and tools).}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/microsoft-research-treelet-translation-system-iwslt-evaluation/}, edition = {Proceedings of the International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation}, }
