چکیده

Named entities create serious problems for state-of-the-art commercial machine translation (MT) systems and often cause translation failures beyond the local context, affecting both the overall morphosyntactic well-formedness of sentences and word sense disambiguation in the source text. We report on the results of an experiment in which MT input was processed using output from the named entity recognition module of Sheffield's GATE information extraction (IE) system. The gain in MT quality indicates that specific components of IE technology could boost the performance of current MT systems.

Named entities from Wikipedia for machine translation

In this paper we present our attempt to improve machine translation of named entities by using Wikipedia. We recognize named entities based on categories of English Wikipedia articles, extract their potential translations from corresponding Czech articles and incorporate them into a statistical machine translation system as translation options. Our results show a decrease of translation quality...

Corpus based coreference resolution for Farsi text

"Coreference resolution" or "finding all expressions that refer to the same entity" in a text, is one of the important requirements in natural language processing. Two words are coreference when both refer to a single entity in the text or the real world. So the main task of coreference resolution systems is to identify terms that refer to a unique entity. A coreference resolution tool could be...
