Weather Report Translation Using a Translation Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of a translation memory in the context of a reconstruction of a landmark application of machine translation, the Canadian English to French weather report translation system. This system, which has been in operation for more than 20 years, was developed using a classical symbolic approach. We describe our experiment in developing an alternative approach based on the analysis of hundreds of thousands of weather reports. We show that it is possible to obtain excellent translations using translation memory techniques and we analyze the kinds of translation errors that are induced by this approach.

متن کاملPredicting Peak Sector Occupancy with Two-Hour Convective Weather Forecasts
An important function of traffic flow management ensuring the number of aircraft entering a sector does not exceed the amount that can be safely controlled by the sector controller. One factor that makes this task difficult is the uncertainty of the impact of convective weather, as both the weather forecast and the impact given specific weather is uncertain. In this investigation, we study this...
