Abstract

This paper describes the hierarchical phrase-based machine translation system built jointly by the University of Edinburgh and the University of Munich (LMU) for the shared translation task at the ACL 2016 First Conference on Machine Translation (WMT16). The WMT16 Edinburgh/LMU system was trained for translation of news domain texts from English into Romanian. We participated in the shared task for machine translation of news under “constrained” conditions, i.e. using the provided training data only.
