Machine Translation of Spatial Expressions : De ning the Relation between an Interlingua and a
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present one aspect of our research on machine translation (MT): deening the relation between the interlingua (IL) and a knowledge representation (KR) within an MT system. Our interest lies in the translation of natural language (NL) sentences where the \message" contains a spatial relation | in particular, where the sentence conveys information about the location or path of physical entities in the real, physical world. We explore several arguments for clarifying the source of constraints on the particular IL structures needed to translate these sentences. This paper develops one approach to deening these constraints and building an MT system where the IL structures designed to satisfy these constraints may be tested. In this way, we have begun to address one of the basic issues in MT research, providing independent justiication for the IL itself.

Lexical 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, ...

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 ...

This paper presents the building of a language independent Enconversion framework of UNL. Universal Networking Language is a relatively new interlingua of machine translation which is an important application of NLP .The purpose of framework is to localize the software applications and platforms and thus trying to bridge the great digital divide that has created due the linguistic barriers.It i...
