Interlingua-based Machine Translation Systems: UNL versus Other Interlinguas
نویسنده
چکیده
Interlingua-based machine translation is probably the most attractive among the three classic approaches to MT. Early pioneers as well as current researchers experimented with this approach and produced some very stimulating methodologies to reaching such a language-independent framework. In this paper, we shall briefly review some of the most renowned endeavours in interlinguabased machine translation and bring into view how the latest of which; the Universal Networking Language (UNL) differs and compares to these other systems.

Interlinguas: Deep and Shallow
In 1629, Descartes proposed a “language of true philosophy” to serve as an interlingua for translating between languages. Over 300 years later, “semantic interlingua” appears on the top of the Vauquois triangle, as the deepest possible analysis guaranteeing the best possible translation. But the main stream of machine translation has considered the interlingua unrealistic and worked on lower le...
متن کاملNatural Language Processing and Machine Translation Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, 2nd ed. (ELL2). Machine Translation: Interlingual Methods
An interlingua is a notation for representing the content of a text that abstracts away from the characteristics of the language itself and focuses on the meaning (semantics) alone. Interlinguas are typically used as pivot representations in machine translation, allowing the contents of a source text to be generated in many different target languages. Due to the complexities involved, few inter...
متن کاملEvaluation of Arabic Machine Translation System Based on the Universal Networking Language
This paper evaluates a machine translation (MT) system based on the interlingua approach, the Universal Network Language (UNL) system, designed for Multilanguage translation. The study addresses evaluation of English-Arabic translation and aims at comparing the MT systems based on UNL against other systems. Also, it serves to analyze the development of the system understudy by comparing output ...
متن کاملUNL as a Text Content Representation Language for Information Extraction
This paper describes a new approach for describing contents through the use of interlinguas in order to facilitate the extraction of specific pieces of information. The authors highlight the different dimensions of a document and how these dimensions define the capacities of their respective contents to be found in the scalable process of finding information. A specific interlingua, UNL, will b...
متن کاملA Rationale for Using UNL as an Interlingua and More in Various Domains
The UNL language of semantic graphs may be called as a "semantico-linguistic" interlingua. As a successor of the technically and commercially successful ATLAS-II and PIVOT interlinguas, its potential to support various kinds of text MT is certain, even if some improvements would be welcome, as always. It is also a strong candidate to be used in spoken dialogue translation systems when the utter...
