A Hybrid Machine Translation System for Typologically Related Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a shallow parsing formalism aiming at machine translation between closely related languages. The formalism allows to write grammar rules helping to (partially) disambiguate chunks in input sentences. The chunks are then translatred into the target language without any deep syntactic or semantic processing. A stochastic ranker then selects the best translation according to the target language model. The results obtained for Czech and Slovak are presented.

A 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 کاملMachine Translation of Very Close Languages
Using examples of the transfer-based MT system between Czech and Russian RUSLAN and the word-for-word MT system with morphological disambiguation between Czech and Slovak (~ESILKO we argue that for really close languages it is possible to obtain better translation quality by means of simpler methods. The problem of translation to a group of typologically similar languages using a pivot language...
متن کاملRule Based Case Transfer in Tamil-Malayalam Machine Translation
The paper focuses on the rule based case transfer, which is a part of the transfer grammar module developed for bidirectional Tamil to Malayalam Machine Translation system. The present study involves two typologically close and genetically related languages, namely Tamil and Malayalam. We considered the basic construction of sentences which is highly dependent on the case systems. The rules wer...
متن کاملControl and Cybernetics a Method of Hybrid Mt for Related Languages *
The paper introduces a hybrid approach to a very specific field in machine translation — the translation of closely related languages. It mentions previous experiments performed for closely related Scandinavian, Slavic, Turkic and Romanic languages and describes a novel method, a combination of a simple shallow parser of the source language (Czech) combined with a stochastic ranker of (parts of...
متن کاملMini-workshop on computational linguistics issues related to machine translation, multilinguality and vector space approaches
Multilingual parser evaluation has for a long time been hampered by the lack of cross-linguistically consistent annotation. While initiatives like Universal Dependencies have greatly improved the situation, they have also raised questions about the adequacy of existing parser evaluation metrics when applied across typologically different languages. This paper argues that the usual attachment sc...
