Machine Translation Reading List

This is a machine translation reading list maintained by the Tsinghua Natural Language Processing Group.

The past three decades have witnessed the rapid development of machine translation, especially for data-driven approaches such as statistical machine translation (SMT) and neural machine translation (NMT). Due to the dominance of NMT at the present time, priority is given to collecting important, up-to-date NMT papers; the Edinburgh/JHU MT research survey wiki has good coverage of older papers and a brief description for each sub-topic of MT. Our list is still incomplete and the categorization might be inappropriate. We will keep adding papers and improving the list. Any suggestions are welcome!
