EBMT Seen as Case-based Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper looks at EBMT from the perspective of the Case-based Reasoning (CBR) paradigm. We attempt to describe the task of machine translation (MT) seen as a potential application of CBR, and attempt to describe MT in standard CBR terms. The aim is to see if other applications of CBR can suggest better ways to approach EBMT.

An Example-based Approach to Machine Translation
In this paper we describe a methodological analysis of EBMT (Example-Based Machine Translation) based on a CBR (Case-Based Reasoning) perspective. This analysis focuses on adaptation. We argue that, just as in CBR, the overall power of an EBMT system is its ability to adapt examples retrieved to suit the new problem translation. Here we describe a technique whereby reusability is a function of ...

متن کاملAdaptation Guided Retrieval: Approaching EBMT with Caution
Many translation memory tools rely on the assumption that source language constructions correspond more or less isomorphically to their target language counterparts. Cross-linguistic divergences and non-linguistic factors such as translator stylistics clearly make the assumption false, so there is a need for sub-sentential linkage between any two languages. The strength of these links determine...
متن کاملGaijin: A Bootstrapping, Template- Driven Approach to Example-Based MT
Example-based Machine Translation (EBMT) is a recent approach to MT that offers robustness, scalability and graceful degradation, deriving as it does its competence not from explicit linguistic models of source and target languages, but from the wealth of bilingual corpora that are now available. Gaijin is such a system, employing statistical methods, string-matching, case-based reasoning and t...
متن کاملExperiments and Prospects of Example-Based Machine Translation
EBMT (Example-Based Machine Translation) is proposed. EBMT retrieves similar examples (pairs of source phrases, sentences, or texts and their translations) from a d~t.hase of examples, adapting the examples to translate a new input. EBMT has the following features: (1) It is easily upgraded simply by inputting appropriate examples to the database; (2) It assigns a reliability factcr to the tran...
