Interactive Translation Using Quasi Logical Forms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes work in progress on employing a general purpose natural language processing system, the Core Language Engine (CLE), to an interactive translation application. The CLE is a system for deriving Logical Form (LF) representations of natural language which are capable of supporting reasoning. The initial development of the CLE included substantial domain independent coverage of English syntax and semantics. The output of the linguistic analysis stages of CLE processing consists of structures at the level of Quasi Logical Form (QLF), a superset of LF having additional constructs for representing contextually determined aspects of interpretation.

Decoupling Scope Resolution from Semantic Composition
A translation from Quasi-Logical Forms (QLFs) to Hole Semantics (HS) is presented. The translation makes explicit the dominance constraints that are implicit in the QLFs. QLFs can then be used in the semantic composition stage only, and HS in the scope resolution stage only. Thus, each representation is used to accomplish the stage it is most suited for while avoiding its cumbersomeness in the ...
متن کاملTranslation by Quasi Logical Form Transfer
The paper describes work on applying a general purpose natural language processing system to transfer-based interactive translation. Transfer takes place at the level of Quasi Logical Form (QLF), a contextually sensitive logical form representation which is deep enough for dealing with cross-linguistic differences. Theoretical arguments and experimental results are presented to support the clai...
متن کاملThe Effect of Metapragmatic Awareness, Interactive Translation, and Discussion through Video-Enhanced Input on EFL Learners’ Comprehension of Implicature
It is substantiated that particular features of pragmatics are teachable, and instruction is both necessary and effective. Determining what kind of intervention is most effectual for facilitating learners’ pragmatic development has been a central issue for researchers. To respond to the inconclusive findings in intervention studies and to extend the instructional studies in L2 pragmatics to les...
متن کاملQuasi - Logical Forms from F - Structures for thePenn
In this paper we show how the trees in the Penn treebank can be associated automatically with simple quasi-logical forms. Our approach is based on combining two independent strands of work: the rst is the observation that there is a close correspondence between quasi-logical forms and LFG f-structures van Genabith and Crouch, 1996]; the second is the development of an automatic f-structure anno...
متن کاملLearning Synchronous Grammars for Semantic Parsing with Lambda Calculus
This paper presents the first empirical results to our knowledge on learning synchronous grammars that generate logical forms. Using statistical machine translation techniques, a semantic parser based on a synchronous context-free grammar augmented with λoperators is learned given a set of training sentences and their correct logical forms. The resulting parser is shown to be the bestperforming...
