Scala and Statistical Machine Translation
Featuring Aurelien Waite
Statistical Machine Translation is the task of translating natural languages using statistical models. Aurelien is introducing Scala and Spark into his translation pipeline and finding it a good fit for many of the problems faced.
You will learn about the Scala based rule extractor, how Spark...
