Summary of the project:

The main objective of this project is to design, train and evaluate neural machine translation systems between the Romance languages of the Iberian Peninsula. Among these languages, there are some with very few language resources. Neural Machine Translation is a very active area of research, and the methods for training systems for language pairs with lesser resources attract the attention of researchers worldwide. Although neural systems are achieving high levels of quality, there is still room for improvement and opportunities for research.
