Adaptation Guided Retrieval in EBMT: A Case-Based Approach to Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a methodological analysis of EBMT (Examplebased Machine Translation) based on a CBR (Case-Based Reasoning) perspective. This analysis focuses on adaptation. We argue that, just as in CBR, the overall power of an EBMT system is its ability to adapt examples retrieved to suit the new problem translation. Here we describe a technique whereby reusability is a function of the abstract "adaptability" information stored in the cases. This information is exploited during both the adaptation and retrieval stages.

متن کاملAdaptation Guided Retrieval: Approaching EBMT with Caution
Many translation memory tools rely on the assumption that source language constructions correspond more or less isomorphically to their target language counterparts. Cross-linguistic divergences and non-linguistic factors such as translator stylistics clearly make the assumption false, so there is a need for sub-sentential linkage between any two languages. The strength of these links determine...
متن کاملA Systematic Adaptation Scheme for English-Hindi Example-Based Machine Translation
The success of Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) often depends upon how efficient the adaptation scheme is. Adaptation primarily aims at modifying retrieved examples to meet the required demands of a given translation task. The present work looks at adaptation for EBMT from English to Hindi. This paper describes a rule-driven adaptation scheme for modifying a retrieved translation exampl...
متن کاملIdentification of Divergence for English to Hindi EBMT
Divergence is a key aspect of translation between two languages. Divergence occurs when structurally similar sentences of the source language do not translate into sentences that are similar in structures in the target language. Divergence assumes special significance in the domain of Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT). An EBMT system generates translation of a given sentence by retrievin...
متن کاملEBMT Seen as Case-based Reasoning
This paper looks at EBMT from the perspective of the Case-based Reasoning (CBR) paradigm. We attempt to describe the task of machine translation (MT) seen as a potential application of CBR, and attempt to describe MT in standard CBR terms. The aim is to see if other applications of CBR can suggest better ways to approach EBMT.
