Multiword units (MWUs) represent a challenging and problematic linguistic issue in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) due to their idiosyncratic nature. This paper investigates the quality of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) outputs when dealing with MWUs in the domain of archaeology. read more
In this paper we present the development of an ontology-based bilingual (IT-EN) lexicographic resource of Italian clitic Verbal MultiWord Expressions (VMWEs) to support machine translation. Starting from an analysis of these units and their linguistic features, we examine how Neural Machine… read more
Machine Translation (MT) is now extensively used both as a tool to overcome language barriers on the internet and as a professional tool to translate technical documentation. The technology has rapidly evolved in recent years thanks to the availability of large amounts of data in digital format… read more
The correct interpretation of Multiword Units (MWUs) is crucial to many applications in Natural Language Processing but is a challenging and complex task. In recent years, the computational treatment of MWUs has received considerable attention but we believe that there is much more to be done… read more
