Philipp Koehn (born 1 August 1971 in Erlangen, West Germany) is a computer scientist and researcher in the field of machine translation. [1] [2] His primary research interest is statistical machine translation and he is one of the inventors of a method called phrase based machine translation. This is a sub-field of statistical translation ...
Based on these RNN-based architectures, Baidu launched the "first large-scale NMT system" [23]: 144 in 2015, followed by Google Neural Machine Translation in 2016. [23]: 144 [24] From that year on, neural models also became the prevailing choice in the main machine translation conference Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation. [25]
In his paper "Europarl: A Parallel Corpus for Statistical Machine Translation", [1] Koehn sums up in how far the Europarl corpus is useful for research in SMT.He uses the corpus to develop SMT systems translating each language into each of the other ten languages of the corpus making it 110 systems.
Machine translation is use of computational techniques to translate text or speech from one language to another, including the contextual, idiomatic and pragmatic nuances of both languages. Early approaches were mostly rule-based or statistical. These methods have since been superseded by neural machine translation [1] and large language models ...
Statistical machine translation was re-introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s by researchers at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center. [3] [4] [5] Before the introduction of neural machine translation, it was by far the most widely studied machine translation method.

In November 2016, Google Neural Machine Translation system (GNMT) was introduced. Since then, Google Translate began using neural machine translation (NMT) in preference to its previous statistical methods (SMT) [ 1 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] which had been used since October 2007, with its proprietary, in-house SMT technology.
The term neural machine translation was coined by Bahdanau et al [18] and Sutskever et al [19] who also published the first research regarding this topic in 2014. Neural networks only needed a fraction of the memory needed by statistical models and whole sentences could be modeled in an integrated manner. The first large scale NMT was launched ...
