Not to get too defensive haha but in the talk makes certain statements, such as "Neural machine translation is more fluent and adequate compared to RBMT" (not verbatim), and later on a comparison of post-editability, but doesn't really comment on the status of these tools, i.e. how much data were the NMT systems trained on, and how much is the English-Catalan system of Apertium is worked on (which we know is not a lot), so I was just surprised to see general statements against RBMT. Not saying this as a member of Apertium but generally evaluations like this should be done carefully and all the factors should be considered before comparing multiple systems, without that, it's easy to arrive at false conclusions.
