4. 2. Understanding Neural Machine Translation : An investigation into linguistic phenomena and attention mechanisms

   Author : Gongbo Tang; Joakim Nivre; Rico Sennrich; Philipp Koehn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neural machine translation; Linguistic phenomena; Ambiguity; Long-range dependency; Morphology; Negation; Attention mechanisms; Interpretation; Computational Linguistics; Datorlingvistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, I explore neural machine translation (NMT) models via targeted investigation of various linguistic phenomena and thorough exploration of the internal structure of NMT models, in particular the attention mechanism. With respect to linguistic phenomena, I explore the ability of NMT models to translate ambiguous words, to learn long-range dependencies, to learn morphology, and to translate negation—linguistic phenomena that have been challenging for the older paradigm of statistical machine translation.

5. 3. Paraphrase and Rhetorical Adjustment: An Essay on Contextualism and Cohesion

The possibility of explaining contextual specifications of meaning as a side effect of establishing textual cohesion is explored through an investigation into the nature of texts. READ MORE

6. 4. Lost in Translation : Speech recognition and memory processes in native and non-native language perception

   Author : Lisa Kilman; Linköpings universitet; []

The integrated approach encompassed the role of cognition as a focal point of interest as well as perceptualauditory and linguistic factors. READ MORE
