    <Paragraph position="1"> We are grateful to all the participants in the shared task, for their hard work and involvement in this evaluation exercise. Without them, all these comparative analyses of word alignment techniques would not be possible. In particular, we would like to thank Dan Tufis, and Bob Moore for their helpful comments concerning the Romanian-English data. We would also like to thank Benoit Farley for his valuable assistance with the English-Inuktitut data.</Paragraph>
