We are interested in improving the quality of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) on language pairs that lack sizable parallel corpora, in settings where pivoting through a third language is not an option. We will explore two strategies in parallel:
  • Learning the translation relation from monolingual corpora by bootstrapping from a small parallel corpus or dictionary.
  • Developing NMT architectures capable of exploiting the linguistic knowledge expressed in richly annotated corpora.

See our research statement for more details.
