Two-Step MT: Predicting Target Morphology
This paper describes a two-step machine translation system that addresses the issue of translating into a morphologically rich language (English to Czech), by performing separately the translation and the generation of target morphology.
Optimizing Word Alignments with Better Subword Tokenization
Word alignment identify translational correspondences between words in a parallel sentence pair and are used and for example and to train statistical machine translation and learn bilingual dictionaries or to perform quality estimation.
Modèle-s bayés-ien-s pour la segment-ation à deux niveau-x faible-ment super-vis-é-e (Bayesian models for weakly supervised two-level segmentation )

Latent Group Dropout for Multilingual and Multidomain Machine Translation
Multidomain and multilingual machine translation often rely on parameter sharing strategies, where large portions of the network are meant to capture the commonalities of the tasks at hand, while smaller parts are reserved to model the peculiarities of a language or a domain.

Vers la production automatique de sous-titres adaptés à l’affichage (Towards automatic adapted monolingual captioning)
Une façon de réaliser un sous-titrage automatique monolingue est d’associer un système de reconnaissance de parole avec un modèle de traduction de la transcription vers les sous-titres.
Multi-Domain Adaptation in Neural Machine Translation with Dynamic Sampling Strategies
In this paper, we study dynamic data selection strategies that are able to automatically re-evaluate the usefulness of data samples and to evolve a data selection policy in the course of training.
Weakly Supervised Word Segmentation for Computational Language Documentation
Word and morpheme segmentation are fundamental steps of language documentation as they allow to discover lexical units in a language for which the lexicon is unknown.
LIMSI @ WMT 2020
This paper describes LIMSI’s submissions to the translation shared tasks at WMT’20.
A Study of Residual Adapters for Multi-Domain Neural Machine Translation
Domain adaptation is an old and vexing problem for machine translation systems.
Priming Neural Machine Translation
Priming is a well known and studied psychology phenomenon based on the prior presentation of one stimulus (cue) to influence the processing of a response.
Biais de genre dans un système de traduction automatiqueneuronale : une étude préliminaire (Gender Bias in Neural Translation : a preliminary study )
Cet article présente les premiers résultats d’une étude en cours sur les biais de genre dans les corpus d’entraînements et dans les systèmes de traduction neuronale.

We present GlotScript, an open resource and tool for low resource writing system identification.
BiSync: A Bilingual Editor for Synchronized Monolingual Texts
In our globalized world, a growing number of situations arise where people are required to communicate in one or several foreign languages.
Assessing Word Importance Using Models Trained for Semantic Tasks
Many NLP tasks require to automatically identify the most significant words in a text.
Glot500: Scaling Multilingual Corpora and Language Models to 500 Languages
The NLP community has mainly focused on scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) vertically, i. e., making them better for about 100 languages.
Investigating the Translation Performance of a Large Multilingual Language Model: the Case of BLOOM
The NLP community recently saw the release of a new large open-access multilingual language model, BLOOM (BigScience et al., 2022) covering 46 languages.
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions.
Bilingual Synchronization: Restoring Translational Relationships with Editing Operations
Machine Translation (MT) is usually viewed as a one-shot process that generates the target language equivalent of some source text from scratch.
Graph-Based Multilingual Label Propagation for Low-Resource Part-of-Speech Tagging
An established method for training a POS tagger in such a scenario is to create a labeled training set by transferring from high-resource languages.
Integrating Translation Memories into Non-Autoregressive Machine Translation
Non-autoregressive machine translation (NAT) has recently made great progress.
Evaluating Subtitle Segmentation for End-to-end Generation Systems
Subtitle segmentation can be evaluated with sequence segmentation metrics against a human reference.
Joint Generation of Captions and Subtitles with Dual Decoding
As the amount of audio-visual content increases, the need to develop automatic captioning and subtitling solutions to match the expectations of a growing international audience appears as the only viable way to boost throughput and lower the related post-production costs.

First, we create a multiparallel word alignment graph, joining all bilingual word alignment pairs in one graph.
Screening Gender Transfer in Neural Machine Translation
This paper aims at identifying the information flow in state-of-the-art machine translation systems, taking as example the transfer of gender when translating from French into English.
One Source, Two Targets: Challenges and Rewards of Dual Decoding
Machine translation is generally understood as generating one target text from an input source document.
Graph Algorithms for Multiparallel Word Alignment
With the advent of end-to-end deep learning approaches in machine translation, interest in word alignments initially decreased; however, they have again become a focus of research more recently.

Code-Switching (CSW) is a common phenomenon that occurs in multilingual geographic or social contexts, which raises challenging problems for natural language processing tools.

Word alignments identify translational correspondences between words in a parallel sentence pair and are used, for instance, to learn bilingual dictionaries, to train statistical machine translation systems or to perform quality estimation.
SimAlign: High Quality Word Alignments without Parallel Training Data using Static and Contextualized Embeddings
We find that alignments created from embeddings are superior for four and comparable for two language pairs compared to those produced by traditional statistical aligners, even with abundant parallel data; e. g., contextualized embeddings achieve a word alignment F1 for English-German that is 5 percentage points higher than eflomal, a high-quality statistical aligner, trained on 100k parallel sentences.
