However, in most current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems, the outputs of compound-complex sentences still lack proper transitional expressions. As a result, the translations are often hard to read and understand. To addr...

All existing translations between proof assistants have been notoriously sluggy, resource-demanding, and do not scale to large developments, which has lead to the general perception that the whole approach is probably not practical. We aim to show that the observed inefficiencies are not inherent, but merely a deficiency of the existing implementations. We do so by providing a new implementatio...
