| - | ===== Questions ==== | ||
| + | ===== Pluses ===== | ||
| + | * All the resources and source codes are downloadable. | ||
| + | * Grammar rules of the minority languages (which can be dying out) are formalised and thus preserved. | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | > Many real-world examples from discussed languages make the understanding of the paper easier. -MK- | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Minuses ===== | ||
| + | * The approach needs a lot of human work. | ||
| + | * The evaluation is unclear and subjective. Sentence pairs which the authors considered unequivalent were removed from the data. There is no baseline approach to compare with. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Questions ==== | ||
| + | - Where does the semantic information come from? Is it from manual annotation? | ||
| + | - Assimilation vs. dissemination. Does it make a difference when we design an MT system? \\ In a statistical system probably not. In a rule based system, there may be an effort to make the errors predictable and the output easily post-editable when our aim is dissemination. | ||
| + | - What is the difference between a minority language and an underresourced language? \\ We guess that a minority language is a language with a small number of users. There are underresourced languages which can be considered major, like Indonesian. | ||

| + | > Assimilation & dissemination criteria can be used for evaluating the performance of the resulting system. -MK- | ||
