Abstract
This paper illustrates the process of training and evaluating NMT systems for a language pair that includes a low-resource language variety.A parallel corpus of legal texts for Italian and South Tyrolean German has been compiled, with South Tyrolean German being the low-resourced language variety. As the size of the compiled corpus is insufficient for the training, we have combined the corpus with several parallel corpora using data weighting at sentence level. We then performed an evaluation of each combination and of two popular commercial systems.- Anthology ID:
