New method boosts Coptic-English machine translation with syntax

Researchers have developed a new in-context learning approach for low-resource machine translation of Coptic to English. This method incorporates syntactic information from Universal Dependencies parses, alongside bilingual dictionaries. The study found that while syntactic information alone was less effective than dictionary glosses, combining both significantly improved translation quality across various model sizes, setting new state-of-the-art results for Coptic translation.
