Morphologically-rich languages pose problems for machine translation (MT) systems, including word-alignment errors, data sparsity and multiple affixes. Current alignment models at word-level do not distinguish words and morphemes, thus yielding low-quality alignment and subsequently affecting end translation quality. Models using morpheme-level alignment can reduce the vocabulary size of morpho...

Rapid Development of Translation Tools: Application to Persian and Turkish

The Computing Research laboratory (CRL) is developing a machine translation toolkit that allows rapid deployment of translation capabilities. This toolkit has been used to develop several machine translation systems, including a Persian-English and a TurkishEnglish system, which will be demonstrated. We present the architecture of these systems as well as the development methodology.
