Projects and Recent Publications/Presentations
Multilingual/Cross-lingual NLP (mainly Machine Translation)
We are conducting research on machine translation and multilingual text processing from various aspects, mainly with my colleagues at NICT, internship students, and sometimes in collaboration with researchers outside NICT.
