Ngram-based smt system enhanced with reordering patterns

This work presents translation results for the three data sets made available in the shared task Exploiting Parallel Texts for Statistical Machine Translation of the HLT-NAACL 2006 Workshop on Statisti-cal Machine Translation. All results pre-sented were generated by using the N-gram-based statistical machine translation system which has been enhanced from the last year's evaluation with a tagged target language model (using Part-Of-Speech tags). For both Spanish-English transla-tion directions and the English-to-French translation task, the baseline system al-lows for linguistically motivated source-side reorderings.
