Urdu and Hindi: Translation and sharing of linguistic resources
Hindi and Urdu share a common phonology, morphology and grammar but are written in different scripts. In addition, the vocabularies have also diverged significantly especially in the written form. In this paper we show that we can get reasonable quality translations (we estimated the Translation Error rate at 18%) between the two languages even in absence of a parallel corpus. Linguistic resour...
متن کاملCreation of comparable corpora for English-Urdu, Arabic, Persian
Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) relies on the availability of rich parallel corpora. However, in the case of under-resourced languages or some specific domains, parallel corpora are not readily available. This leads to under-performing machine translation systems in those sparse data settings. To overcome the low availability of parallel resources the machine translation community has rec...

There are above 60 million first language speakers of Urdu and above 104 million second language speakers. Lot of knowledge on the internet available/useful to these speakers of Urdu is in English. The contrast in typology of both languages is interesting to study for Statistical Machine Translation. However, there is almost no parallel aligned data available freely for the selected language pa...

متن کاملCombining Bilingual and Comparable Corpora for Low Resource Machine Translation
Statistical machine translation (SMT) performance suffers when models are trained on only small amounts of parallel data. The learned models typically have both low accuracy (incorrect translations and feature scores) and low coverage (high out-of-vocabulary rates). In this work, we use an additional data resource, comparable corpora, to improve both. Beginning with a small bitext and correspon...
