Neural Machine Translation

when 31 July 2023 - 11 August 2023
language English
duration 2 weeks
fee EUR 490

In this course students will be introduced to machine translation (MT): a field that investigates the use of software to translate text automatically between different languages. The course provides an overview of this field and focuses on the currently dominating paradigm in MT, which uses neural networks (NNs). Students will be introduced to the main NN architectures used in MT, which are also commonly used in other sequence-to-sequence language tasks (e.g. text summarisation). The course will also cover the evaluation of MT systems, the use of linguistic knowledge in MT systems, unsupervised approaches to MT, and different uses of MT systems in the wider society together with the implications thereof.
