 +Nice paper with a very good idea that probably can improve translations, but with several arguments that are not backed up by sufficient evidence or clearly misleading. The initial analysis is done in a very precise and detailed way. The actual translation experiments show that adding new features helps, but lack some obvious steps, such as significance checking or actually proving that BLEU is wrong by using METEOR or similar metric.
