Machine Translation of English Noun Phrases into Arabic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work reports our attempt in automating the translation of English noun phrase (NP) into Arabic. Translating NP is a very important task toward sentence translation since NPs form the majority of textual content of the scientific and technical documents. The system is implemented in Prolog and the parser is written in DCG formalism. The paper also describes our experience with the developed MT system and reports results of its application on real titles of theses and journals from the computer science domain.

متن کاملDefinite noun phrases in statistical machine translation into Scandinavian languages
The Scandinavian languages have an unusual structure of definite noun phrases (NPs), with a noun suffix as one possibility of expressing definiteness, which is problematic for statistical machine translation from languages with different NP structures. We show that translation can be improved by simple source side transformations of definite NPs, for translation from English and Italian, into D...
متن کاملDeterminers and Number in English contrasted with Japanese, as exemplified in Machine Translation
The fact that concepts are grammaticalized differently in different languages is a major problem for translation, especially for machine translation. Two major examples of this are syntactic number, and the use of (in)definite articles (a, some, the). In languages such as English, nouns are marked for number and the choice of article (or of no article) must be made for every noun phrase. In con...
