【新智元导读】2018年最后一天，清华大学NLP组总结了最近30年来机器翻译领域最重要的论文和学术文献目录清单，包括机器翻译必读论文 Top 10，在Github上公开放出。侧重于NMT领域的又精又全的论文资源，值得从事机器翻译研究的小伙伴们收藏！限于篇幅，此为上篇。

近日，清华大学NLP组总结了最近30年来机器翻译领域最重要的论文和学术文献目录，并在Github上公开放出。

此列表首先给出了30年来机器翻译领域必读的10篇最重要的论文，接下来的内容分为统计机器翻译和神经机器翻译两大部分。由于近年来取得重大突破几乎全在神经机器翻译领域，这份论文目录更为侧重神经机器翻译部分。

每篇论文资源均按作者、题目、发表年份、发表会议/期刊的顺序给出。

新智元在此将清单全文转录如下，由于原文较长，限于微信文章篇幅限制，分为两篇。

在此感谢此资源的主要维护者，Github id：minicheshire、thudcsly和其他几位的贡献者的辛勤劳动。
