OpenLogos MT and the SAL Representation Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes OpenLogos, a rule-driven machine translation system, and the syntactic-semantic taxonomy SAL that underlies this system. We illustrate how SAL addresses typical problems relating to source language analysis and target language synthesis. The adaptation of OpenLogos resources to a specific application concerning paraphrasing in Portuguese is also described here. References are provided for access to OpenLogos and to SAL.

When Multiwords Go Bad in Machine Translation
This paper addresses the impact of multiword translation errors in machine translation (MT). We have analysed translations of multiwords in the OpenLogos rule-based system (RBMT) and in the Google Translate statistical system (SMT) for the English-French, English-Italian, and English-Portuguese language pairs. Our study shows that, for distinct reasons, multiwords remain a problematic area for ...

متن کاملParaphrasing of Italian Support Verb Constructions based on Lexical and Grammatical Resources

They can be paraphrased with a full verb, preserving its meaning, improving at the same time the MT raw output. In this paper, we discuss the creation of linguistic resources namely a set of dictionaries and rules that can identify and pa...

متن کاملLinguistic Evaluation of Support Verb Constructions by OpenLogos and Google Translate
This paper presents a systematic human evaluation of translations of English support verb constructions produced by a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system (OpenLogos) and a statistical machine translation (SMT) system (Google Translate) for five languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. We classify support verb constructions by means of their syntactic structure and se...
