Abstract

This paper describes the joint submis- sion of the QT21 projects for the English RIGHTWARDS ARROW Latvian translation task of the EMNLP 2017 Second Conference on Ma- chine Translation (WMT 2017). The sub- mission is a system combination which combines seven different statistical ma- chine translation systems provided by the different groups.

The systems are combined using either RWTH's system combination approach, or USFD's consensus-based system- selection approach. The final submission shows an improvement of 0.5 B LEU compared to the best single system on newstest2017.
