Tools and data for Machine Translation between Related Languages
The project aims at creating a suitable formal and applicational framework for machine translation systems among related languages, especially to find out which MT paradigm, rule-based or statistical, will score best for closely-related languages. To evaluate the framework, an experimental machine translation system from Czech to Russian will be implemented within both a rule-based system Česílko and statistical system Moses. The quality of the translation of both systems in various configurations will be compared using BLEU score as well as a manual evaluation metric.
