This paper describes the joint submission of the QT21 and HimL
projects for the English→Romanian translation task of the ACL 2016
First Conference on Machine Translation (WMT 2016). The submission is
a system combination which combines twelve different statistical
machine translation systems provided by the different groups (RWTH
Aachen University, LMU Munich, Charles University in Prague,
University of Edinburgh, University of Sheffield, Karlsruhe Institute
of Technology, LIMSI, University of Amsterdam, Tilde). The systems are
combined using RWTH’s system combination approach. The final
submission shows an improvement of 1.0 BLEU compared to the best
single system on newstest2016.
