 + * Estimate function estimates the model parameters or in other words perform training of the system. The authors used three different model for parameters estimation. **Full Re-training**, **Additional Phrase Table** and **Mixture Model**.
 +
 + * Scoring function assign a score to each translation t. The scoring functions used in the paper are: **Length-normalized Score** and **Confidence Estimation**.
 +
 + * Selection function is used to create additional training data Ti which is used in next iteration i+1 by **Estimate** to augment the original bilingual data. The selection functions used in this paper are: **Importance Sampling**, **Selection using a Threshold** and **Keep All**.
 +
 + * Data filtering is performed on both bilingual and monolingual data to keep only that part of the data which is relevant to the test data.
