User-friendly Machine Translation: Alternate Translations Based on Differing Beliefs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the authors present a notion of “user-friendly” translation and describe a method for achieving it within a pragmatics-based approach to machine translation. The approach relies on modeling the beliefs of the participants in the translation process: the source language speaker and addressee, the translator and the target language addressee. Translation choices may vary according to how beliefs are ascribed to the various participants and, in particular, “user-friendly” choices are based on the beliefs ascribed to the TL addressee.

متن کاملApplying Statistical English Language Modeling to Symbolic Machine Translation
The PANGLOSS Mark III system [Frederking et al. 94] was from the outset designed to be a symbolic, human-aided machine translation (MT) system. The need arose to rapidly adapt it for use as a fully-automated MT system. Our solution to this problem was to add a statistical English language model (ELM) to replace the most significant user activity, selecting between alternate translations produce...
