Temporal Expressions in Japanese-to-English Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes in outline a method for translating Japanese temporal expressions into English. We argue that temporal expressions form a special subset of language that is best handled as a special module in machine translation. The paper deals with problems of lexical idiosyncrasy as well as the choice of articles and prepositions within temporal expressions. In addition temporal expressions are considered as parts of larger structures, and the question of whether to translate them as noun phrases or adverbials is addressed.

Utilizing Semantic Equivalence Classes of Japanese Functional Expressions in Translation Rule Acquisition from Parallel Patent Sentences
In the “Sandglass” MT architecture, we identify the class of monosemous Japanese functional expressions and utilize it in the task of translating Japanese functional expressions into English. We employ the semantic equivalence classes of a recently compiled large scale hierarchical lexicon of Japanese functional expressions. We then study whether functional expressions within a class can be tra...

متن کاملEnglish Adverb Processing in Japanese-to-English Machine Translation
When translating between different language families, the correspondence between language elements are often not straightforward. This paper analyzes Japanese expressions which correspond to English adverbs. We classify the expressions into three types which are translated differently. An adverb processing method in J-to-E machine translation using this classification is proposed.

This paper proposes a method to resolve the reference of deictic Japanese zero pronouns which can be implemented in a practical machine translation system. This method focuses on semantic and pragmatic constraints such as semantic constraints on cases, modal expressions, verbal semantic attributes and conjunctions to determine the deictic reference of Japanese zero pronouns. This method is high...
متن کاملA pattern-based machine translation system - yakushite net MT engine
This paper introduces our pattern-based machine translation system. Our system enables us to register translation patterns including more complicated sentence structures rather than just simple words and limited types of expressions. Having registered in the Japanese to English section of IWSLT05, we aimed to input as many expressions as possible to our system in order to achieve successful tra...
