Context Resolution of Verb Particle Constructions for English to Hindi Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Verb Particle Constructions (VPCs) are flexible in nature and hence quite complex and challenging to handle. As a consequence, VPCs generate a lot of interest for NLP community. Despite their prevalence in English they are not handled very well, and hence often result in poor quality of translation. In this paper we investigate VPCs for English to Hindi translation. An English VPC can have different meanings in Hindi based on what its neighboring entities are. The paper focuses on finding the correct Hindi verb for an English VPC. We also discuss some rules for VPC identification, and approaches for resolving the context of a VPC for English to Hindi machine translation.

متن کاملProject Proposal: How Verb-Particle Constructions Affect Translation Quality in English and German
This project deals with verb-particle constructions (VPCs) in the context of statistical machine translation, with the purpose of finding out if and to what degree they affect translation quality in English and German. Its main goal is to identify which types of VPCs cause translation errors and to find possible solutions to this problem. VPCs are a type of multiword expressions (MWEs), meaning...
متن کاملComplex Predicates are Multi-Word Expressions
Practitioners of English Natural Language Processing often feel fortunate because their tokens are clearly marked by spaces on either side. However, the spaces can be quite deceptive, since they ignore the boundaries of multi-word expressions, such as noun-noun compounds, verb particle constructions, light verb constructions and constructions from Construction Grammar, e.g., caused-motion const...

Light verb constructions (LVC) in Hindi are highly productive. If we can distinguish a case such as nirnay lenaa ‘decision take; decide’ from an ordinary verb-argument combination kaagaz lenaa ‘paper take; take (a) paper’, it has been shown to aid NLP applications such as parsing (Begum et al., 2011) and machine translation (Pal et al., 2011). In this paper, we propose an LVC identification sys...
