Collaborative Development of a Rule-Based Machine Translator between Croatian and Serbian
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development and current state of a bidirectional CroatianSerbian machine translation system based on the open-source Apertium platform. It has been created inside the Abu-MaTran project with the aims of creating free linguistic resources as well as having non-experts and experts work together. We describe the collaborative way of collecting the necessary data to build our system, which outperforms other available systems.

Language Related Issues for Machine Translation between Closely Related South Slavic Languages
Machine translation between closely related languages is less challenging and exhibits a smaller number of translation errors than translation between distant languages, but there are still obstacles which should be addressed in order to improve such systems. This work explores the obstacles for machine translation systems between closely related South Slavic languages, namely Croatian, Serbian...
متن کاملNew Inflectional Lexicons and Training Corpora for Improved Morphosyntactic Annotation of Croatian and Serbian
In this paper we present newly developed inflectional lexcions and manually annotated corpora of Croatian and Serbian. We introduce hrLex and srLex—two freely available inflectional lexicons of Croatian and Serbian—and describe the process of building these lexicons, supported by supervised machine learning techniques for lemma and paradigm prediction. Furthermore, we introduce hr500k, a manual...
متن کاملLemmatization and Morphosyntactic Tagging of Croatian and Serbian
We investigate state-of-the-art statistical models for lemmatization and morphosyntactic tagging of Croatian and Serbian. The models stem from a new manually annotated SETIMES.HR corpus of Croatian, based on the SETimes parallel corpus. We train models on Croatian text and evaluate them on samples of Croatian and Serbian from the SETimes corpus and the two Wikipedias. Lemmatization accuracy for...
متن کاملExploring cross-language statistical machine translation for closely related South Slavic languages
This work investigates the use of crosslanguage resources for statistical machine translation (SMT) between English and two closely related South Slavic languages, namely Croatian and Serbian. The goal is to explore the effects of translating from and into one language using an SMT system trained on another. For translation into English, a loss due to cross-translation is about 13% of BLEU and ...
