This paper describes the design and implementat ion of an English-Turkish machine translation (MT) system developed as a part of the TU-Language project supported by a NATO Science for Stability Project grant. The system uses a structural transfer approach in translating the domain of IBM computer manuals. The general design of the translation system and a detailed description of the transfer c...

We present a set of language resources and tools—a morphological parser, a morphological disambiguator, and a text corpus—for exploiting Turkish morphology in natural language processing applications. The morphological parser is a state-of-the-art finite-state transducer-based implementation of Turkish morphology. The disambiguator is based on the averaged perceptron algorithm and has the best ...
