Machine Translation by Interaction between Paraphraser and Transfer
نویسنده
چکیده
A machine translation model has been proposed where an input is translated through both source-language and target-language paraphrasing processes. We have implemented our prototype model for the Japanese-Chinese language pair. This paper describes our core idea of translation, where a source language paraphraser and a language transfer cooperates in translation by exchanging information about the source input.

Interaction between Paraphraser and Transfer for Spoken Language Translation
One of the problems in spoken language translation is the enormous variety of expressions not found in text translation. This volume can lead to a sparse translation coverage. In order to tackle this problem, we propose a machine translation model where an input is translated through both source-language and target-language paraphrasing processes. In this paper, we discuss the source paraphrasi...
متن کاملParaphrasing of Chinese Utterances
One of the key issues in spoken language translation is how to deal with unrestricted expressions in spontaneous utterances. This research is centered on the development of a Chinese paraphraser that automatically paraphrases utterances prior to transfer in Chinese-Japanese spoken language translation. In this paper, a pattern-based approach to paraphrasing is proposed for which only morphologi...
متن کاملParaMT: A Paraphraser for Machine Translation
In this paper we present ParaMT, a bilingual/multilingual paraphraser to be applied in machine translation. We select paraphrases of support verb constructions and use the NooJ linguistic environment to formalize and generate translation equivalences through the use of dictionary and local grammars with syntactic and semantic content. Our research shows that linguistic paraphrasal knowledge con...

متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation for Query Expansion in Answer Retrieval
We present an approach to query expansion in answer retrieval that uses Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) techniques to bridge the lexical gap between questions and answers. SMT-based query expansion is done by i) using a full-sentence paraphraser to introduce synonyms in context of the entire query, and ii) by translating query terms into answer terms using a full-sentence SMT model traine...
