CS Colloquium: Jonathan May (ISI) - The Machine Learning of Machine Translation
Mon, Aug 24, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Jonathan May, ISI
Talk Title: The Machine Learning of Machine Translation
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: Automatic language translation was one of the earliest applications proposed for computers but, despite over 60 years of research, quality has only risen to the level of everyday usefulness within the last decade. The recent successes of machine translation have been fueled by the availability of large amounts of data, the ever-increasing performance of computing hardware, and developments in learning methodologies and evaluation metrics. In this lecture I will give an overview of modern statistical machine translation systems with particular focus on algorithms and metrics, including my own work on the development of a ranking-based approach to parameter optimization.
