The NL2KR Platform for building Natural Language Translation Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the NL2KR platform to build systems that can translate text to different formal languages. It is freelyavailable1, customizable, and comes with an Interactive GUI support that is useful in the development of a translation system. Our key contribution is a userfriendly system based on an interactive multistage learning algorithm. This effective algorithm employs Inverse-λ, Generalization and user provided dictionary to learn new meanings of words from sentences and their representations. Using the learned meanings, and the Generalization approach, it is able to translate new sentences. NL2KR is evaluated on two standard corpora, Jobs and GeoQuery and it exhibits state-of-the-art performance on both of them.

Implementation of a Health Policy Advisory Committee as a Knowledge Translation Platform: The Nigeria Experience
Background In recent times, there has been a growing demand internationally for health policies to be based on reliable research evidence. Consequently, there is a need to strengthen institutions and mechanisms that can promote interactions among researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders who can influence the uptake of research findings. The Health Policy Advisory Committee (HPAC) is on...
متن کاملThe NL2KR System
In this paper we will describe the NL2KR system that translates natural language sentences to a targeted knowledge representation formalism. The system starts with an initial lexicon and learns meaning of new words from a given set of examples of sentences and their translations. We will describe the first release of our system with several examples.
متن کاملStatistical Machine Translation Part I: Hands-On Introduction
Statistical machine translation (SMT) is currently one of the hot spots in natural language processing. Over the last few years dramatic improvements have been made, and a number of comparative evaluations have shown, that SMT gives competitive results to rule-based translation systems, requiring significantly less development time. This is particularly important when building translation syste...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics with Human Judgement on Persian Language
Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...

Background The lack of effective use of research evidence in policy-making is a major challenge in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). There is need to package research data into effective policy tools that will help policy-makers to make evidence-informed policy regarding infectious diseases of poverty (IDP). The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of training works...
