quality translation output in Statistical machine translation
(SMT) is dependent on the availability of massive amounts of
parallel text in the source and target language. <br>
There are a large number of languages that are considered
"low-density", either because the population speaking the
language is not very large, <br>
or even if millions of people speak the language, insufficient
online resources are available in that language. <br>
This tutorial covers machine learning approaches for dealing
with such situations in SMT where the amount of available
bilingual data is limited.</span></p>
