Issue #50 – Previewing the 2019 Machine Translation Summit

Author: The Iconic Scientific Team!

This week marks the 50th issue of The Neural MT Weekly. This is a remarkable milestone as we originally set out for this to be an 8-part series. However, as the pace of research in this area continued without cease, and our readership grew, we simply had to keep going. The research into these posts forms part of our weekly MT reading group in Iconic anyway, so they also represent a good opportunity for our team to stay on top of the latest developments.

To mark this 50th issue, and with the 17th Machine Translation Summit taking place next week on our doorstep, we decided to preview some of the papers from the research track that caught our teams’ eye in the run up to the conference. These are just a few of dozens of great papers so we recommend you take a look at the full proceedings also. Check out our highlights below.
