They compare two tokenisations: a word-level model, where each tag is a… ## Co-authors (4) - [Yoad Winter](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoad-winter/) ×2 - [Reut Tsarfaty](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/reut-tsarfaty/) - [Roy Bar-Haim](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/roy-bar-haim/) - Saib Manour ## More papers in the library (3) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [Graph Convolutional Encoders for Syntax-aware Neural Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bastings-2017-graph-convolutional-encoders-syntax-aware/) — Jasmijn Bastings, Ivan Titov, Wilker Aziz, et al. · 2017 - [A Shared Task on Multimodal Machine Translation and Crosslingual Image Description](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/specia-2016-shared-task-multimodal-machine-translation/) — Lucia Specia, Stella Frank, Khalil Sima'an, et al. · 2016 - [Multi30K: Multilingual English-German Image Descriptions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elliott-2016-multi30k-multilingual-english-german-image/) — Desmond Elliott, Stella Frank, Khalil Sima'an, et al. · 2016
