Lecture 13: semantic parsing; statistical and neural machine translation

Semantic parsing: supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised. FrameNet. Abstract Meaning Representations.

Introduction to Machine Translation. Rule-based vs. Statistical MT. Statistical MT: the noisy channel model. The language model and the translation model. The phrase-based translation model. Learning a model of training. Phrase-translation tables. Parallel corpora. Extracting phrases from word alignments. Word alignments. IBM models for word alignment. Many-to-one and many-to-many alignments. IBM model 1 and the HMM alignment model. Training the alignment models: the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. Symmetrizing alignments for phrase-based MT: symmetrizing by intersection; the growing heuristic. Calculating the phrase translation table. Decoding: stack decoding. Evaluation of MT systems. BLEU. Neural MT: the encoder-decoder architecture; advantages; results.
