 | Statistical Machine Translation Group at the University of Edinburgh |
We are developing statistical machine translation systems for a wide range of language pairs, and explore many research questions related to translation.
We are currently funded by the following projects:
EuroMatrixPlus builds on the success of the EuroMatrix project. It is funded under Framework Programme 7 by the European Commission. The project's goal is to advance machine translation technology and bringing it to the user.
LetsMT! is funded Framework Programme 7 by the European Commission. It's goal is to build a web service that allows users to upload translated texts and automatically build customized machine translation systems.
We are member of the AGILE consortion, which is a project for machine translation of speech and text from Arabic and Chinese. This is a joint project with BBN, ISI, MIT, and Cambridge University (and other partners working on speech recognition and distillations). It is funded by the US Defense Advanced Research Program Agency (DARPA), under a funding program called GALE.
EuroMatrix is a Framework Programme 6 project funded by the European Commission on text translation between all official languages in the Europen Union. This is a joint project with the University of Saarbrücken, Charles University (Prague), CELCT, Linear B, GlobalWare and MorphoLogic. The technical coordination of this project is with the University of Edinburgh.
Demeter is a three year, EPSRC-funded project looking at large-scale (aka 'millions of features') discriminative training for SMT.
RandLM? is a 6 month project funded by Google, looking at randomised language models.
