## Papers

1. **[A Challenge Set Approach to Evaluating Machine Translation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/isabelle-2017-challenge-set-approach-evaluating-machine/)** *(2017)* The paper proposes challenge sets: small, hand-written sets of English to French sentences, each built to test one structural divergence between the two languages, for example morphology that exposes agreement, stranded prepositions, double-object verbs, subcategorisation frames, idioms and WH-movement.
2. **[Paraphrasing for Style](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/xu-2012-paraphrasing-style/)** *(2012)* The paper asks whether a paraphrase system can be steered toward a writing style. Its testbed is Shakespeare's plays paired with their modern prose translations, aligned into roughly 21,000 sentence pairs from one source and about 10,000 from another. A phrase-based statistical MT system is trained in the…
3. **[A global model for joint lemmatization and part-of-speech prediction](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2009-toutanova-global-model-joint-lemmatization-part/)** *(2009)* The authors predict lemmas and part-of-speech tags together, because the two depend on each other. Their model combines a tag-set model and a lemmatization model, and adds joint features over a dependency structure of the words, so the decision for one word can use its neighbours. It uses only morphological lexicons…
4. **[Dependency Treelet Translation: Syntactically Informed Phrasal SMT](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/quirk-2005-dependency-treelet-translation-syntactically-informed/)** *(2005)* The system takes a source sentence, parses it into a dependency tree, and projects that tree onto the target sentence through the word alignment.
