The usual workflow, where MT runs first and a person post-edits afterwards, keeps the translator and the system apart. Barrachina et al. put the human inside the translation loop instead, an approach they call interactive-predictive machine translation (IPMT).… 2. **[Morpho-syntactic Arabic Preprocessing for Arabic to English Statistical Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/isbihani-2006-morpho-syntactic-arabic-preprocessing-arabic/)** *(2006 · 43 citations)* Arabic attaches conjunctions, prepositions, the article and pronouns directly to words. As a result, an Arabic–English parallel corpus has a far larger and sparser Arabic vocabulary, with many singletons, and this hurts alignment in statistical MT. The authors preprocess the Arabic side in several steps: 3. **[Adapting Vision-Language Models for E-commerce Understanding at Scale](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nulli-2026-adapting-vision-language-models-e/)** *(2026)* The paper, from eBay and the University of Amsterdam, asks how to make general-purpose Vision-Language Models (VLMs) better at e-commerce without losing their general multimodal skills. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Statistical Approaches to Computer-Assisted Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/barrachina-2009-statistical-approaches-computer-assisted-translation/) [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/)**Sergio Barrachina, Oliver Bender, Francisco Casacuberta, et al.*2008 · 313 citations* 2. **[Pivot-based Transfer Learning for Neural Machine Translation between Non-English Languages ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D19-1080/) Proceedings of the 2019 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and the 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (EMNLP-IJCNLP) · no summary yet**Yunsu Kim et al.*2019 · 106 citations* 3. **[Morpho-syntactic Arabic Preprocessing for Arabic to English Statistical Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/isbihani-2006-morpho-syntactic-arabic-preprocessing-arabic/) [Conference on Machine Translation (WMT)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wmt/)**Anas El Isbihani, Shahram Khadivi, Oliver Bender, et al.*2006 · 43 citations* 4. **[Adapting Vision-Language Models for E-commerce Understanding at Scale](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nulli-2026-adapting-vision-language-models-e/) [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/)**Matteo Nulli, Vladimir Orshulevich, Tala Bazazo, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hermann Ney](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hermann-ney/) ×2 - [Oliver Bender](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/oliver-bender/) ×2 - [Enrique Vidal](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/enrique-vidal/) - [Francisco Casacuberta](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/francisco-casacuberta/) - [Yannick Versley](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yannick-versley/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/): [Computational Linguistics 2008](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/2008/) - [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/): [EACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/2026/) - [Conference on Machine Translation (WMT)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wmt/): [WMT 2006](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wmt/2006/) - Proceedings of the 2019 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and the 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (EMNLP-IJCNLP) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 133 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shahram-khadivi/cited-by/).
