The UPC TweetMT participation: Translating Formal Tweets Using Context Information

In this paper, we describe the UPC systems that participated in the TweetMT shared task. We developed two main systems that were applied to the Spanish-Catalan language pair: a state-of-the-art phrase-based statistical machine translation system and a context-aware system. In the second approach, we define the
