We had a paper accepted for Sixth International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT-07), to take place in Bergen, Norway, in December 07. The paper is entitled Exploiting Parallel Treebanks to Improve Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation, and is joint work with John Tinsley and Mary Hearne.
I presented our system's results at IWSLT-07 in Trento, Italy, on Oct 15th.
I'm delighted to state that Sylwia Ozdowska has joined us from the University of Toulouse as a post-doctoral researcher. Sylwia started on Sept 1st, and will be with us for two years on the PROSPECT project.
Bart Mellebeek recently successfully defended his PhD. See here for more details.
