Research Project on Neural MT at ADAPT

Neural Machine Translation seems to be the talk of the town pretty much everywhere throughout our industry, and there is no doubt that this technology has changed the way how machine translation is perceived by a wider audience.  Publicly available web MT services have improved through these technological advances, and the arrival of Cologne-based DeepL which is based on the vast Linguee database has created quite some stir also outside language industry circles, prompting articles even in mainstream newspapers and magazines.
