Research ArticleOpen accessSuVashantor: English to Bangla Machine Translation SystemsMahjabeen Akter, M. Shahidur Rahman, Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, Mohammad Reza SelimThis paper presents the system description of Machine Translation (MT) systems for English-Bangla language pair. Our goal was to create two benchmark MT systems that produce a better quality translation and comparatively higher evaluation score than existing MT systems for English to Bangla. In our experiments, we implemented two baseline MT systems using both statistical and neural methods for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 16 Aug 2020 · 7,445 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessNeural Machine Translation for Low-resource English-BanglaMohammad Abdullah Al Mumin, Md Hanif Seddiqui, Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, Mohammed Jahirul IslamNeural machine translation has recently been able to gain state-of-the-art translation quality for many language pairs. However, neural machine translation has been less tested for English-Bangla language pair, two linguistically distant and widely spoken languages. In this paper, we apply neural machine translation to the task of English-Bangla translation in both directions and compare it against a standard phrase-based statistical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2019 · 9,865 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessshu-torjoma: An English↔Bangla Statistical Machine Translation SystemMohammad Abdullah Al Mumin, Md Hanif Seddiqui, Muhammed Zafar Iqbal, Mohammed Jahirul IslamAn efficient and publicly open machine translation system is in dire need to get the maximum benefits of Information and Communication Technology through removing the language barrier in this era of globalization. In this study, we present a Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (PBMT) system between English and Bangla languages in both directions. To the best of our knowledge, the system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 29 Jul 2019 · 9,155 accessesView PDF Cite
