An English-Arabic Bi-directional Machine Translation Tool in the Agriculture Domain - A Rule-Based Transfer Approach for Translating Expert Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work reports our attempt in developing an EnglishArabic bi-directional Machine Translation (MT) tool in the agriculture domain. It aims to achieve automated translation of expert systems. In particular, we describe the translation of knowledge base, including, prompts, responses, explanation text, and advices. In the central laboratory for agricultural expert systems, this tool is found to be essential in developing bi-directional (EnglishArabic) expert systems because both English and Arabic versions are needed for development, deployment, and usage purpose. The tool follows the rulebased transfer MT approach. A major design goal of this tool is that it can be used as a stand-alone tool and can be very well integrated with a general (English-Arabic) MT system for Arabic scientific text. The paper also discusses our experience with the developed MT system and reports on results of its application on real agricultural expert systems.

متن کاملA Hybrid Machine Translation System Based on a Monotone Decoder
In this paper, a hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system is proposed by combining the result of a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system with a statistical approach. The RBMT uses a set of linguistic rules for translation, which leads to better translation results in terms of word ordering and syntactic structure. On the other hand, SMT works better in lexical choice. Therefore, in our sys...

Machine translation is the process by which computer software is used to translate a text from one natural language into another language with or without minimal human intervention. This definition involves accounting for the grammatical structure of each language and using rules and grammars to transfer the grammatical structure of the source language into the target language. This paper prese...

Problem statement: Any Arabic to English Machine Translation (MT) system should be capable of dealing with word order which Arabic exhibits. This poses a significant challenge to MT due to the vast number of ways to express the same sentence in Arabic. The ordering features are very important and should be carefully applied to ensure the generation of sentence in the target language. Because th...
