For example, the translations of a source sentence in MT08 are as follows 2 : • Src: • HPB: South Korean government late last month to start with 400,000 tons of rice aid to the DPRK • HPB+MER: Start at the end of last month, South Korean government plans to provide 400,000 tons of rice in aid to the DPRK The most obvious error that the baseline system makes is the order of the time expression " , the end of last month", which should be either at the beginning or the end on target side.
the baseline produced a monotone translation by using the rule " X 1 , South Korean government X 1 ".
