Merging the English and the German Upper Model
نویسنده
چکیده
A detailed comparison of the Penman Upper Model and the KOMET German Upper Model is carried out in order to construct a new Merged Upper Model capable of serving as the ideational basis for automatic text generation in both English and German. Previously proposed criteria for conducting such a merge are expanded on and evaluated. It is established that no (semi-)automatic merging of such knowledge sources can be expected to produce a reasonable result and that detailed comparison of the kind reported is essential. The result of the merge is now being used within the KOMET Project as the basis for generation in English, German and Dutch.

متن کاملCompound Processing for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation
In this thesis I explore how compound processing can be used to improve phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) between English and German/Swedish. Both German and Swedish generally use closed compounds, which are written as one word without spaces or other indicators of word boundaries. Compounding is both common and productive, which makes it problematic for PBSMT, mainly due to ...
