A Comparison of MT Methods for Closely Related Languages: a Case Study on Czech – Slovak Language Pair
2014
Abstract
This paper describes an experiment compar- ing results of machine translation between two closely related languages, Czech and Slovak. The comparison is performed by means of two MT systems, one representing rule-based ap- proach, the other one representing statistical approach to the task.
Both sets of results are manually evaluated by native speakers of the target language. The results are discussed both from the linguistic and quantitative points of view.
