What Should Machine Translation Be?
نویسنده
چکیده
After a considerable hiatus of interest and funding, machine translation has come in recent years to occupy a significant place in the discipline of natural language processing. It has also become one of the most visible representations of natural language processing to the outside world. Machine translation systems are relatively unique with respect to the extent of the coverage they at tempt , and, correspondingly, the size of the grammatical and lexicaI corpora involved. Adding to this the complexity introduced by multiple language directions into the same system design (and the enormous procedural problems imposed by simultaneous development in several sites) gives some clue as to the opt imism which presently exists for machine translation.

Private Access to Phrase Tables for Statistical Machine Translation
Some Statistical Machine Translation systems never see the light because the owner of the appropriate training data cannot release them, and the potential user of the system cannot disclose what should be translated. We propose a simple and practical encryption-based method addressing this barrier.
متن کاملA Comparative Study of English-Persian Translation of Neural Google Translation
Many studies abroad have focused on neural machine translation and almost all concluded that this method was much closer to humanistic translation than machine translation. Therefore, this paper aimed at investigating whether neural machine translation was more acceptable in English-Persian translation in comparison with machine translation. Hence, two types of text were chosen to be translated...
متن کاملCodified Close Translation as a Standard for MT
This paper proposes that quality criteria are set up for machine translation systems that attempt to capture what can be considered the upper limit for the performance of MT systems. It argues that the best performance MT currently should aim for is close translation, and that attempts should be made to codify what that entails for any given language pair. Some guidelines for the selection of c...
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...
متن کاملSpecification and Evaluation of Machine Translation Toy Systems - Criteria for laboratory assignments –
Implementation of machine translation “toy” systems is a good practical exercise especially for computer science students. Our aim in a series of courses on MT in 2002 was to make students familiar both with typical problems of Machine Translation in particular and natural language processing in general, as well as with software implementation. In order to simulate a software implementation pro...
