SMT and SPE machine translation systems for WMT’09

This paper describes the development of several machine translation systems for the 2009 WMT shared task evaluation. We only consider the translation between French and English. We describe a sta-tistical system based on the Moses de-coder and a statistical post-editing sys-tem using SYSTRAN’s rule-based system. We also investigated techniques to auto-matically extract additional bilingual texts from comparable corpora.
