The New Thot Toolkit for Fully-Automatic and Interactive Statistical Machine Translation
Daniel Ortiz-Martínez, Francisco Casacuberta · 2014
We present the new THOT toolkit for fully-automatic and interactive statistical ma-chine translation (SMT). Initial public ver-sions of THOT date back to 2005 and did only include estimation of phrase-based models. By contrast, the new version of-fers several new features that had not been previously incorporated. The key innova-tions provided by the toolkit are computer-aided translation, including post-editing and interactive SMT, incremental learn-ing and robust generation of alignments at phrase level. In addition to this, the toolkit also provides standard SMT fea-tures such as fully-automatic translation, scalable and parallel algorithms for model training, client-server implementation of the translation functionality, etc. The toolkit can be compiled in Unix-like and Windows platforms and it is released un-der the GNU Lesser General Public Li-cense (LGPL). 1
