## Papers

1. **[A Universal Dependencies Treebank of Ancient Hebrew](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/ud-2022-swanson-universal-dependencies-treebank-ancient-hebrew/)** *(2022)* The authors build the first UD treebank of Biblical Hebrew, the books of Genesis and Ruth (1,579 sentences).
2. **[Handling Stress in Finite-State Morphological Analyzers for Ancient Greek and Ancient Hebrew](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2022-swanson-handling-stress-finite-state-morphological/)** *(2022)* The authors argue that finite-state analysers can model lexical stress if the lexicon carries control characters beyond the surface form.
3. **[Apertium: a free/open source platform for machine translation and basic language technology](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/forcada-2016-apertium-free-open-source-platform/)** *(2016)* A one-page project description of Apertium, a free/open-source shallow-transfer rule-based MT platform started in 2005.
4. **[Flexible finite-state lexical selection for rule-based machine translation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/tyers-2012-flexible-finite-state-lexical-selection/)** *(2012)* The paper adds a lexical-selection module to the Apertium pipeline. When a dictionary offers several target words for one source word, a rule chooses one from the context. Rules are written in XML as context patterns, compiled into a finite-state transducer, and applied with a best-coverage dynamic program that…
5. **[The Apertium machine translation platform: Five years on](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/forcada-2009-apertium-machine-translation-platform-five/)** *(2009)* A retrospective of Apertium after five years: how a consortium of Spanish universities and companies turned two inherited MT systems into a free engine with data for many language pairs.
