Abstract
This document describes Linear B’s entry for the 2005 NIST MT Evaluation exercise. Linear B examined the efficacy of human-aided statistical machine translation by looking at the improvements that could be had by involving non-Arabic speakers in the translation process. We examined two conditions: one in which non-Arabic speakers edited the output of a statistical machine translation system, and one in which they were allowed to select phrasal translations from a chart of possible translations for an Arabic sentence, and then edit the text.
