Glad to share that new work of Tezcan & Bulté on evaluating the impact of integrating similar translations into #NMT has been published in the special issue "Machine Translation for Conquering Language Barriers" 📝 Paper: mdpi.com/2078-2489/13/1… 💻 Code: github.com/lt3/nfr

New journal paper published in Terminology on automatic term extraction by Ayla Rigouts Terryn, Veronique Hoste and Els Lefever! doi.org/10.1075/term.2…

Proudly sharing the newsletter of the LT3 research group that celebrates it's 15th anniversary with many achievements and many more to come: lt3.ugent.be/newsletter/ UGentNLP

Happy 15th birthday to the LT3 research group! We celebrate with a regular newsletter with their many achievements and many more to come: lt3.ugent.be/newsletter/

In our latest paper by Arda Tezcan, Bram Bulté, we investigate how similar translations influence NMT output and what exactly improves in terms of translation quality: 📝 Paper: biblio.ugent.be/publication/87… 💻 Code: github.com/lt3/nfr #research #machinetranslation

Check out our latest paper (CLIN journal) on ABSA for German literary prizes: clinjournal.org/clinj/article/… Language and Translation Technology Team (LT3) UGentNLP #digitalhumanities GhentCDH

The new issue of the CLIN journal is now available (clinjournal.org/clinj). It covers some of the best work presented at the CLIN'31 conference (organized by LT3). We thank all the participants, authors and reviewers for their contributions and fruitful discussions.

⚠️ Important account update⚠️ This account has been home to two research groups of UGent, LT3 and T2K. Both have their own focus within NLP. To make this distinction clearer, LT3 has now started its own account Language and Translation Technology Team (LT3). We encourage you to follow both, of course!

T2K (text-to-knowledge) focuses on the development of new algorithms for processing text to solve problems related to human language: ugentt2k.github.io

LT3 (Language and Translation Technology Team Language and Translation Technology Team (LT3)) is active in the wide spectrum of NLP problems ranging from (machine) translation to terminology to emotion detection and more. They organized #CLIN31 last year and will organize @eamt2022 this year: lt3.ugent.be

Congratulation François REMY, Thomas Demeester and Alfiya for winning best paper award at #mwe2023!
