1. Final Thoughts Andy Way DCU MT Workshop 23—34 July 2008

2. Ongoing vs. New Research • Ringfence a.s.a.p. ongoing research so as to facilitate new researchers (I have lots of questions for each of you individually …)

3. Ongoing vs. New Research • Ringfence a.s.a.p. ongoing research so as to facilitate new researchers (I have lots of questions for each of you individually …) • Joint projects between current/new researchers, either:

4. Ongoing vs. New Research • Ringfence a.s.a.p. ongoing research so as to facilitate new researchers (I have lots of questions for each of you individually …) • Joint projects between current/new researchers, either: • Small, self-contained projects

6. Ongoing vs. New Research • Ringfence a.s.a.p. ongoing research so as to facilitate new researchers (I have lots of questions for each of you individually …) • Joint projects between current/new researchers, either: • Small, self-contained projects • Large group projects • What type of phrases can each of our methods derive that Giza++ will never get?

7. Ongoing vs. New Research • Ringfence a.s.a.p. ongoing research so as to facilitate new researchers (I have lots of questions for each of you individually …) • Joint projects between current/new researchers, either: • Small, self-contained projects • Large group projects • What type of phrases can each of our methods derive that Giza++ will never get? • Complete system combination vs. multiple component integration (e.g. decoders, chunkers etc.)

8. Resources • Making our own stuff available • Data (e.g. Sara, John etc.) • Software (e.g. Ventzi, MaTrEx etc.)

9. Resources • Making our own stuff available • Data (e.g. Sara, John etc.) • Software (e.g. Ventzi, MaTrEx etc.) • What else do we need? • Data (LDC, ELDA …) • Systems (Hiero, Stat-XFer etc.), segmenters etc. • Gold Standards …

19. The Last Word • We’ve been doing great MT research for some time now

20. The Last Word • We’ve been doing great MT research for some time now • It’s clear that we’ll do even more with the new input, i.e. it’s a good time to be on the DCU MT team …

21. The Last Word • We’ve been doing great MT research for some time now • It’s clear that we’ll do even more with the new input, i.e. it’s a good time to be on the DCU MT team … • … but we’ve had fun doing it, and that can’t be allowed to change!
