LMT: A PROLOG-Based Machine Translation System
نویسنده
چکیده
Analysis of the source is essentially independent of the task of translation, and in fact the very same English grammar used in LMT is also used in an English data base query system. Analysis is based on a logic grammar formalism, Modular Logic Grammars (MLG’s) (McCord, 1985). MLG’s have clearly separated syntactic, lexical, and semantic components. Furthermore, syntactic structure building is handled automatically by the syntax rule compiler, making grammars more compact (than, say, Definite Clause Grammars) and easier to understand. Syntax rules are compiled directly into PROLOG, so that parsing is top-down.

Design of LMT: A Prolog-Based Machine Translation System
LMT (logic-based machine translation) is an experimental English-to-German MT system, being developed in the framework of logic programming. The English analysis uses a logic grammar formalism, Modular Logic Grammar, which allows logic grammars to be more compact, and which has a modular treatment of syntax, lexicon, and semantics. The English grammar is written independently of the task of tra...
متن کاملFast-Syntax-Matching-Based Japanese-Chinese Limited Machine Translation
Limited machine translation (LMT) is an unliterate automatic translation based on bilingual dictionary and sentence bank. This paper addresses the Japanese-Chinese LMT problem, proposes two syntactic hypotheses about Japanese texts, and designs a fast-syntax-matching-based Japanese-Chinese (FSMJC) LMT algorithm. In which, the fast syntax matching function, a modified version of Levenshtein func...

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...
متن کاملGenerate and Repair Machine Translation
We propose Generate and Repair Machine Translation (GRMT), a constraint-based approach to machine translation that focuses on accurate translation output. GRMT performs the translation by generating a Translation Candidate (TC), verifying the syntax and semantics of the TC and repairing the TC when required. GRMT comprises three modules: Analysis Lite Machine Translation (ALMT), Translation Can...
