Developing an Open-Source FST Grammar for Verb Chain Transfer in a Spanish-Basque MT System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the current status of development of a finite state transducer grammar for the verbal-chain transfer module in Matxin, a Rule Based Machine Translation system between Spanish and Basque. Due to the distance between Spanish and Basque, the verbal-chain transfer is a very complex module in the overall system. The grammar is compiled with foma, an open-source finitestate toolkit, and yields a translation execution time of 2000 verb chains/second.

An FST Grammar for Verb Chain Transfer in a Spanish-Basque MT System
We are working on the construction of a Spanish-Basque (eseu) machine translation tool using the traditional transfer model based on shallow and dependency parsing. Spanish and Basque languages are very different and one of the main problems is the translation of the verb chain. We will present the features of each language verb chain, and the design of the verb chain structural transfer. We ha...
متن کاملWikipedia and Machine Translation: killing two birds with one stone
In this paper we present the free/open-source language resources for machine translation created in OpenMT-2 wikiproject, a collaboration framework that was tested with editors of Basque Wikipedia. Post-editing of Computer Science articles has been used to improve the output of a Spanish to Basque MT system called Matxin. For the collaboration between editors and researchers, we selected a set ...
متن کاملAn Open Architecture for Transfer-based Machine Translation between Spanish and Basque
We present the current status of development of an open architecture for the translation from Spanish into Basque. The machine translation architecture uses an open source analyser for Spanish and new modules mainly based on finite-state transducers. The project is integrated in the OpenTrad initiative, a larger governmentfunded project shared among different universities and small companies, w...
متن کاملRule-Based Translation of Spanish Verb-Noun Combinations into Basque
This paper presents a method to improve the translation of Verb-Noun Combinations (VNCs) in a rule-based Machine Translation (MT) system for SpanishBasque. Linguistic information about a set of VNCs is gathered from the public database Konbitzul, and it is integrated into the MT system, leading to an improvement in BLEU, NIST and TER scores, as well as the results being significantly better acc...
متن کاملUsing foma for language-based games
This paper describes two examples of how finite-state technology (FST) commonly used in computational morphology can help implement language-based games. The tool we have used is foma an open-source toolkit, similar to previous Xerox/PARC finite-state tools. FST tools have been widely used to describe the morphology of languages and to implement spelling checkers and correctors, especially for ...
