An English-to-Turkish Interlingual MT System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the integration of a Turkish generation system with the KANT knowledge-based machine translation system to produce a prototype English–Turkish interlingua-based machine translation system. These two independently constructed systems were successfully integrated within a period of two months, through development of a module which maps KANT interlingua expressions to Turkish syntactic structures. The combined system is able to translate completely and correctly 44 of 52 benchmark sentences in the domain of broadcast news captions. This study is the first known application of knowledge-based machine translation from English to Turkish, and our initial results show promise for future development.

متن کاملLexical Allocation in Interlingua-based Machine Translation of Spatial Expressions
Given a spatial expression, or its computational semantic form, how is the expression’s spatial semantics to be allocated lexically, i.e., among entries in the lexicon? In interlingua-based machine translation (MT) research, lexical allocation is the problem of allocating or subdividing a linguistic expression’s full interlingual (IL) structure into the substructures that are lexical IL forms, ...
متن کاملStrategies Used in the Translation of Interlingual Subtitling
This study was an attempt to identify the interlingual strategies employed to translate English subtitles into Persian and to determine their frequency, as well. Contrary to many countries, subtitling is a new field in Iran. The study, a corpus-based, comparative, descriptive, non-judgmental analysis of an English-Persian parallel corpus, comprised English audio scripts of five movies of differ...
متن کاملCoreference-Oriented Interlingual Slot Structure And Machine Translation
One of the main problems of many commercial Machine Translation (MT) and experimental systems is that they do not carry out a correct pronominal anaphora generation. As mentioned in Mitkov (1996), solving the anaphora and extracting the antecedent are key issues in a correct translation. In this paper, we propose an Interlingual mechanism that we have called lnterlingual Slot Structure (ISS) ba...
متن کاملInterlingual Annotation for MT Development
MT systems that use only superficial representations, including the current generation of statistical MT systems, have been successful and useful. However, they will experience a plateau in quality, much like other “silver bullet” approaches to MT. We pursue work on the development of interlingual representations for use in symbolic or hybrid MT systems. In this paper, we describe the creation ...
