    <abstract>The ability to quickly incorporate incoming training data into a running translation system is critical in a number of applications. Mechanisms based on incremental model update and the online EM algorithm hold the promise of achieving this objective in a principled way. Still, efficient tools for incremental training are yet to be available. In this paper we experiment with simple alternative solutions for interim model updates, within the popular Moses system. Short of updating the model in real time, such updates can execute in short timeframes even when operating on large models, and achieve a performance level close to, and in some cases exceeding, that of batch retraining.</abstract>
