Linguistic Categorisation in Machine Translation using Stochastic Finite State Transducers
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last years, statistical machine translation has already demonstrated its usefulness within a wide variety of translation applications. In particular, finite state models are always an interesting framework because there are well-known efficient algorithms for their representation and manipulation. Nevertheless, statistical approaches have rarely been performed taking into account the linguistic nature of the translation problem. This document describes some methodological aspects of building category-based finite state transducers that are able to consider a set of linguistic features in order to produce the most linguistically appropriate hypotheses.

Adapting finite-state translation to the TransType2 project
Machine translation can play an important role nowadays, helping communication between people. One of the projects in this field is TransType2 1. Its purpose is to develop an innovative, interactive machine translation system. TransType2 aims at facilitating the task of producing high-quality translations, and make the translation task more cost-effective for human translators. To achieve this ...

In the last years, statistical machine translation has already demonstrated its usefulness within a wide variety of translation applications. In this line, phrasebased alignment models have become the reference to follow in order to build competitive systems. Finite state models are always an interesting framework because there are well-known efficient algorithms for their representation and ma...
متن کاملP − 20 01 Speech - to - Speech Translation Based on Finite - State Transducers
Nowadays, the most successful speech recognition systems are based on stochastic finite-state networks (hidden Markov models and n-grams). Speech translation can be accomplished in a similar way as speech recognition. Stochastic finite-state transducers, which are specific stochastic finitestate networks, have proved very adequate for translation modeling. In this work a speech-to-speech transl...
متن کاملMachine Translation with Inferred Stochastic Finite-State Transducers
Finite-state transducers are models that are being used in different areas of pattern recognition and computational linguistics. One of these areas is machine translation, in which the approaches that are based on building models automatically from training examples are becoming more and more attractive. Finite-state transducers are very adequate for use in constrained tasks in which training s...
متن کاملBasque-spanish-english Machine Translation Using Finite-state Transducers
The goals of this work are, on the one hand to develop a trilingual corpus suitable for example-based text and speech-input machine translation between English, Spanish and Basque; and on the other hand, to compare the same translation method for under two very different pair of languages: Spanish-Basque and Spanish-English. The stochastic finite-state transducers have been trained from raw bil...
