DESCRIPTION
We will discuss the strategy beyond the tool, the use cases for LSPs and buyers both for production and MT evaluation. Quick tutorial on how to use MateCat and its advanced Moses integration including real time online learning (Moses that learns as soon as translators correct segments) and domain adaptation functionalities. This presentation is a part of the MosesCore project that encourages the development and usage of open source machine translation tools, notably the Moses statistical MT toolkit. MosesCore is supported by the European Commission Grant Number 288487 under the 7th Framework Programme.
