• Abstract: Twenty-five years ago, morphologically aligned Hebrew-Finnish and Greek-Finnish bitexts (texts accompanied by a translation) were constructed manually in order to create an analytical concordance (Luoto et al., 1997) for a Finnish Bible translation. The creators of the bitexts recently secured the publisher's permission to release its fine-grained alignment, but the alignment was still dependent on proprietary, third-party resources such as a copyrighted text edition and proprietary morphological analyses of the source texts. In this paper, we describe a nontrivial editorial process starting from the creation of the original one-purpose database and ending with its reconstruction using only freely available text editions and annotations. This process produced an openly available dataset that contains (i) the source texts and their translations, (ii) the morphological analyses, (iii) the cross-lingual morpheme alignments.

  This paper investigates the application of translation alignment algorithms in the creation of a Multilingual Digital Edition (MDE) of Alessandro Manzoni's Italian novel "I promessi sposi" We identify key requirements for the MDE to improve both the reader experience and support for translation studies. We propose new metrics for evaluating the alignment of literary translations and suggest visualization techniques for future analysis.

Aligned paragraphs are sourced from Wikipedia pages in different languages.

• Example-Based Machine Translation from Text to a Hierarchical Representation of Sign Language [1.3999481573773074]
  This article presents an original method for Text-to-Sign Translation. It compensates data scarcity using a domain-specific parallel corpus of alignments between text and hierarchical formal descriptions of Sign Language videos in AZee. Based on the detection of similarities present in the source text, the proposed algorithm exploits matches and substitutions of aligned segments to build multiple candidate translations. The resulting translations are in the form of AZee expressions, designed to be used as input to avatar systems.

Our attempts to invert BERT suggest, that publishing parts of the encoder together with the contextualized embeddings is critical.

• Text Editing by Command [82.50904226312451]
  A prevailing paradigm in neural text generation is one-shot generation, where text is produced in a single step. We address this limitation with an interactive text generation setting in which the user interacts with the system by issuing commands to edit existing text. We show that our Interactive Editor, a transformer-based model trained on this dataset, outperforms baselines and obtains positive results in both automatic and human evaluations.

This corpus is derived from the multilingual OpenSubtitles dataset and includes short informal sentences. We provide a fully annotated version of the data including morphological analysis, dependency syntax and semantic role labeling in both FrameNet and PropBank styles. We train a neural SRL model on this Hebrew resource exploiting the pre-trained multilingual BERT transformer model, and provide the first available baseline model for Hebrew SRL as a reference point.

We propose a new framework to model cross-sentence dependencies by training neural machine translation (NMT) to predict both the target translation and surrounding sentences of a source sentence.
