3. 2. Syntax-based Concept Alignment for Machine Translation

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Arianna Masciolini; [2023-03-30]
   Keywords : computational linguistic; machine translation; concept alignment; syntax; dependency parsing; Universal Dependencies; Grammatical Framework;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a syntax-based approach to Concept Alignment (CA), the task of finding semantical correspondences between parts of multilingual parallel texts, with a focus on Machine Translation (MT).
