[Corpora-List] Using corpora in SMT

[Paul Johnston]

Apologies for being a bit off topic but several years ago I built a toy
Statistical Machine Translation system using a hand crafted
Estonian-English corpus to generate the translation model, the BNC as
the language model and Giza, The CMU Toolkit, Perl and the ISI decoder
to actually implement the system.

I added a small level of morphological processing which greatly
increased the performance by extracting case information from the
Estonian texts.

It was good fun and very interesting but as it was some time ago I
wonder what is available if I were to repeat the exercise half a decade
later.

The computing power I have has increased a lot, especially in the area
of storage and I could get a lot bigger parallel corpus now.

What is there new to play with?

 

Regards Paul
