Have you ever used Google's famous translation system? Have you ever wondered how Google Translate works?
This mini-course is addressed at all students and researchers who want to know more about how computers can translate text from one language into another.
It will feature two parts: a first historical and theoretical overview on MT systems in general, and a second practical session where the students will train a statistical MT system from scratch, using the Moses toolkit.

Part 1: History and architectures of MT systems (linguistic, computational, operational)

Christian Boitet, 13:30 to 15:00

Part 2: Taming Moses: a practical introduction to Statistical Machine Translation

Carlos Ramisch, 15:30 to 17:00

Pre-requisites for practical session

  • Basic Linux command line
  • Basic notions of probability
