Traduction automatique [FR]

Nous avons commencé nos recherches sur la traduction automatique en 2000 et nous avons suivi les paradigmes en cours de développement dans ce domaine : d'abord RBMT, puis SMT et actuellement NMT. Nous nous sommes principalement concentrés sur la traduction du et vers le basque car, outre son intérêt commercial dans notre pays, c'est un défi important pour plusieurs raisons : la complexité de la morphologie de la langue, l'ordre libre des constituants de la phrase et la rareté des ressources p...lire la suite
