AUTOMATIC BUILDING OF MACHINE TRANSLATION

Reference: ABU-MATRAN
Period: from 01/01/2013 to 03/12/2016

Summary of the project:

Abu-MaTran seeks to enhance industry-academia cooperation as a key aspect to tackle one of Europe’s biggest challenges: multilinguality. We aim to increase the hitherto low industrial adoption of machine translation by identifying crucial cutting-edge research techniques (automatic acquisition of corpora and linguistic resources, pivot techniques, linguistically augmented statistical translation and diagnostic evaluation), preparing them to be suitable for commercial exploitation and finally transferring this knowledge to industry. On the other hand, we will transfer back to academia the know-how of industry regarding management, processes, etc. to make research products more robust. The project exploits the open-source business model, all the resources produced will be released as free/open-source software, resulting in effective knowledge transfer beyond the consortium.
