TLDR

An open-source toolkit for statistical machine translation whose novel contributions are support for linguistically motivated factors, confusion network decoding, and efficient data formats for translation models and language models.

Abstract

We describe an open-source toolkit for statistical machine translation whose novel contributions are (a) support for linguistically motivated factors, (b) confusion network decoding, and (c) efficient data formats for translation models and language models. In addition to the SMT decoder, the toolkit also includes a wide variety of tools for training, tuning and applying the system to many translation tasks.
