Team from ICL participates in NTCIR-10 patent translation task

Members of the project "Cross-language Learning-to-Rank for Patent Retrieval" successfully participated in the NTCIR-10 PatentMT shared task. On the constrained track, which used only resources provided by the organizers, our system, titled "HDU", ranked 2nd for Japanese-to-English and 3rd for Chinese-to-English patent translation with respect to automatic evaluation. For a detailed system description, see our paper.
