    • Linguistically-motivated representations of sentences in the context of SMT
    • Discourse semantics, e.g., cohesion, coherence, discourse relation
  • Distributional semantics for Semantics-driven SMT
    • Distributional lexical/compositional/sentential representations
    • Models and algorithms for learning bilingual/multilingual distributional semantics
    • Distributional approaches to compositional semantics for the purpose of SMT
