As Mikel already said, our student Víctor M. Sánchez Cartagena has some nice
results with a system that adds all the possible application of Apertium
transfer rules to the phrase table of SMT system.
Also, I have just started to advise an undergraduate thesis on some related
approach: my student will keep all the possible alternatives of some of
Apertium modules (tagger, transfer, etc.) and train a log-linear model to
choose the best translation candidate.
Let us know if you make your own contribution to this line of research!

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
