DEPFIX: A System for Automatic Correction of Czech MT Outputs

Abstract

We present an improved version of DEPFIX, a system for automatic rule-based post-processing of English-to-Czech MT outputs designed to increase their fluency. We enhanced the rule set used by the original DEPFIX system and measured\nthe performance of the individual rules.\nWe also modified the dependency parser of\nMcDonald et al. (2005) in two ways to adjust\nit for the parsing of MT outputs. We show that\nour system is able to improve the quality of the\nstate-of-the-art MT systems.
