چکیده
In this paper we describe our progress towards building an interlingua based machine translation system, by capturing the semantics of the source language sentences in the form of Universal Networking Language (UNL) graphs from which the target language sentences can be produced. There are two stages to the UNL graph generation: first, the conceptual arguments of a situation are identified in the form of semantically relatable sequences (SRS) which are potential candidates for linking with semantic relations; next, the conceptual relations such as instrument, source, goal, reason or agent are recognized, irrespective of their different syntactic configurations. The system has been tested against gold standard UNL expressions collected from various sources like Oxford Advanced Learners’ Dictionary, XTAG corpus and Framenet corpus. Results indicate the promise and effectiveness of our approach on the difficult task of interlingua generation from text. Authors Rajat Mohanty IIT Bombay Sandeep Limaye IIT Bombay M.

Among these critical syntactico-semantic facts, this paper tries to approximate linguistic conditions for mapping rules for Hindi postposition transfer t...
