Welcome to the website of the Machine Translation (MT) group in the School of Computing at DCU.
The research that we carry out is undertaken in the National Centre for Language Technology (NCLT),
and the Centre for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL). We carry out a wide range of research in MT, including: |
- Syntax-Driven Statistical Machine Translation [Projects: Prospect]
- Hybrid Statistical & Example-Based Machine Translation
- Tree-Based Machine Translation [Projects: Attempt]
- Sub-sentential Alignment for Machine Translation [Projects: Attempt]
- Probabilistic Transfer-Based Machine Translation
- Evaluation in Machine Translation [Project: Syntax-Based MT Evaluation]
- Controlled Language & Machine Translation
- Human Factors in Machine Translation [Project: Data-Driven Sign Language MT]
|
I'm delighted to announce some of our new recruits, including:
- Dr. Marianna Apidianaki
- Dr. Anton Bryl
- Mr. Sandipan Dandapat
- Dr. Jinhua Du
- Mr. Rejwanul Haque
- Mr. Yifan He
- Dr. Patrik Lambert
- Dr. Sudip Naskar
- Mr. Tsuyoshi Okita
- Mr. Sergio Penkale
- Prof. Harold Somers
- Mr. Ankit Srivastava

| Once all the new CNGL staff and students are in place, our MT team here will constitute 25 people. The CNGL is bringing in 5 postdoctoral researchers, and 9 PhD students, as well as a well-known Professor! |
| Harold, as well as supervising one postdoctoral and 2 PhD researchers, will be joining us after Coling 2008 as Education and Outreach Director in the CNGL. I'm pleased to announce that Sara Morrissey, who's just finished her PhD thesis with me, will be staying with us as Harold's postdoc. |
We'll continue to get involved in large-scale MT evaluation campaigns, and remain determined to make some of our software available in the public domain in the near future.
While the group is almost fully complemented now, there will probably be more advertised positions soon, so keep an eye on this page for more announcements, as we're involved in some potential FP7 projects as well as collaborative research with industry.
We have formed links with some of the leading groups in the fields of MT , where we carry out joint research, host research visits and submit joint research proposals. We would be delighted to become actively involved with more research groups, so contact us if interested. |
| Thanks for accessing our site, and let us know if it did or did not meet your expectations -- if there's something wrong, or missing, we can only fix it if you let us know! |
