CUED Submission for the WMT 10 Translation Shared Task

This paper describes the Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) system for the ACL 2010 fifth workshop on statistical machine translation (WMT10). We participated in the FrenchEnglish and Spanish-English translation shared tasks in both directions. The CUED system is a hierarchical phrase-based system that uses finite-state transducers and lattice rescoring. In the French-English task, we investigated the use of contextdependent alignments.
