Title: Introduction to Machine Translation
Description: An introduction to machine translation (MT) from historical and commercial perspectives, covering the three main MT paradigms (direct, transfer, interlingua) with their respective strengths and limitations. The course covers techniques for processing human languages (morphological analysis, parsing, language generation) and the linguistic resources needed to transform them into machine processable form. Linguistic examples are used to motivate the need for such language processing techniques. The course also covers specialized topics such as domain-limited MT, human-aided MT, statistical/example-based MT, and speech-to-speech translation.
Prerequisites: Students are required to have programming experience or should have completed COS126 (Introduction to Computer Science). TRA 200 is recommended (may be taken simultaneously).
