The Archive of the Machine Translation Reading Group at SSLI-LAB, UW-EE.

Go back to the description of our current meeting.
These are the previous chapters in the saga of the MT reading group at SSLI-Lab, the Signal, Speech, and Language Interpretation Laboratory in the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington. We conduct research on statistical speech and natural language processing, including machine translation.
