2. English - Turkish MT The challenge
Traditionally statistical MT research has focused on language pairs with rich resources
Ambitious goal – Complete English-to-Turkish MT system on par with those on the Web (Google, Systran, etc.)
Realistic goal – Outperform the general-purpose baseline
The focus
Address scarcity issues stemming from rich Turkish inflectional morphology
The strategy
Approximate a morphological analysis by exploiting certain aspects of Turkish morphology to get sub-lexical units
Customize translation model building heuristics to deal correctly with these units
