Zusammenfassung
We describe different architectures that combine rule-based
and statistical machine translation (RBMT and SMT) engines into
hybrid systems. One of them allows to combine many existing MT engines
in a multi-engine setup, which can be done under the control of a decoder
for SMT. Another architecture uses lexical entries induced via
SMT technology to be included in a rule-based system. For all these
approaches prototypical implementations have been done within the
EuroMatrix project and some indicative results from the recent evaluation
campaign are given, which help to highlight the strengths and weaknesses
of these approaches.
