Pseudo-lemmatization in Croatian-English SMT

One of the first difficulties in conducting a thorough analysis of statistical machine translation involving Croatian as a morphologically rich and resource poor language is the lack of quality language resources. This paper presents results of two standard fourteen feature Croatian-English phrase-based statistical machine translation systems. Prior to building the second system a partial pseudo- lemmatization of the Croatian parts of training and test sets is made in an attempt to simplify the translation process. Besides automatic evaluation, a manual evaluation is conducted in order to gain insight into the nature of the translation differences achieved between the two systems.
