• Slides: ./build.sh machine-translation tutorial
• Handout version: ./build.sh machine-translation handout
• Both: ./build.sh machine-translation

Make sure you have pandoc and texlive installed. You don't need to build the presentations if you want to contribute - editing the markdown is enough. If you still wish to compile them (great!) and encounter technical issues, contact me.
