Pangloss: A Machine Translation Project

The project involves three sites (NMSU, USC, CMU) and is devoted to enhancing the state of the art in machine translation of natm'al language texts. Pangloss uses a hybrid, multi-engine approach, though knowledge-based machine translation takes a majority of resources. Types of work in the knowledge-based direction include: • continuing development of a set of knowledge acquisition tools and ut...

The system is to translate newspaper texts in arbitrary domains (though a specific financial domain is given preference) to as high quality as possible using as little human intervention as possible. The projec...
