We introduce and study the notion of functorial Borel complexity for Polish groupoids. Such a notion aims at measuring the complexity of classifying the objects of a category in a constructive and functorial way. In the particular case of principal groupoids such a notion coincide with the usual Borel complexity of equivalence relations. Our main result is that on one hand for Polish groupoids ...

This paper presents efforts in preparation of the Polish-toEnglish SMT system for the TED lectures domain that is to be evaluated during the IWSLT 2012 Conference. Our attempts cover systems which use stems and morphological information on Polish words (using two different tools) and stems and POS.
