NMT or SMT: Case Study of a Narrow-domain English-Latvian Post-editing Project

no code implementations • IJCNLP 2017 • Inguna Skadi{\c{n}}a, M{\=a}rcis Pinnis

The recent technological shift in machine translation from statistical machine translation (SMT) to neural machine translation (NMT) raises the question of the strengths and weaknesses of NMT.

Syntax-based Multi-system Machine Translation

no code implementations • LREC 2016 • Mat{\=\i}ss Rikters, Inguna Skadi{\c{n}}a

This paper describes a hybrid machine translation system that explores a parser to acquire syntactic chunks of a source sentence, translates the chunks with multiple online machine translation (MT) system application program interfaces (APIs) and creates output by combining translated chunks to obtain the best possible translation.
