This course introduces pipeline-based shallow-transfer rule-based machine translation, where and when it works and does not, and why.
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- Build a shallow-transfer machine translation system from scratch using the Apertium platform.
- Understand how each component fits together and extend the pipeline.
Evaluation and credits
The course is worth 3 ECTS credits and will be evaluated based on class work and an eight-page research paper.
