Rapid Deployment of a New METIS Language Pair: Catalan-English
Toni Badía, Maite Melero, Oriol Valentín · 2008
We show here the viability of a rapid deployment of a new language pair within the METIS architecture.Contrarily to other SMT or EBMT systems, the METIS architecture allows us to forgo parallel texts, which for many language pairs, such as Catalan-English are hard to obtain.In this experiment, we have successfully built a Catalan-English prototype by simply plugging a POS tagger for Catalan and a bilingual Catalan-English dictionary to the English generation part of the system already developed for other language pairs.
