Invited keynotes by
Rico Sennrich <http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rsennric/>, University of Edinburgh

The goal of this workshop is to bring together people with interest in machine
translation for morphologically-rich languages and Finnish in particular.
Morphological complexity and word order freedom are difficult challenges in
current MT models and we would like to accelerate the development of systems
that can handle languages like Finnish in a more appropriate way especially as
the target language. We hope that this event will create new ideas and fosters
collaborations leading to substantial improvements in MT for such languages.
The following topics are of special interest for the workshop:
Neural MT <https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/neuralmt/wiki/Home> for
morphologically-rich languages
Tools and resources for Finnish (and other morphologically-rich languages)
MT for low-resource languages
Evaluation of highly-inflecting languages
Long-distance dependencies even across sentence boundaries
Participation is free but requires registration
