    <abstract>We describe the AST submission for the CoCo4MT 2023 shared task. The aim of the task is to identify the best candidates for translation in a source data set with the aim to use the translated parallel data for fine-tuning the mBART-50 model. We experiment with three methods: scoring sentences based on n-gram coverage, using LaBSE to estimate semantic similarity and identify misalignments and mistranslations by comparing machine translated source sentences to corresponding manually translated segments in high-resource languages. We find that we obtain the best results by combining these three methods, using LaBSE and machine translation for filtering, and one of our n-gram scoring approaches for ordering sentences.</abstract>
