Download or read book Challenges for Arabic Machine Translation written by Abdelhadi Soudi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first volume that focuses on the specific challenges of machine translation with Arabic either as source or target language. It nicely fills a gap in the literature by covering approaches that belong to the three major paradigms of machine translation: Example-based, statistical and knowledge-based. It provides broad but rigorous coverage of the methods for incorporating linguistic knowledge into empirical MT. The book brings together original and extended contributions from a group of distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. It is a welcome and much-needed repository of important aspects in Arabic Machine Translation such as morphological analysis and syntactic reordering, both central to reducing the distance between Arabic and other languages. Most of the proposed techniques are also applicable to machine translation of Semitic languages other than Arabic, as well as translation of other languages with a complex morphology.
Download or read book A Generic Character Aligned Machine Transliteration System for Indic Languages written by Nikhil Londhe and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A typical problem encountered in machine translation is the Out of Vocabulary (OOV) terms. These are usually names of places, people or technical terms that cannot be easily translated from one language to another or become obfuscated when translated. These end up as transliterated terms, i.e., a syllable or syllable group conversion from one language to another while trying to preserve the phonetic pronunciation. Although a large number of transliteration systems have been built over the years, they suffer from several problems. Firstly, any machine learning system is only as good as the underlying dataset used to train the system. For resource poor languages thus, either no such systems exist or perform extremely poorly. Secondly, most transliteration systems are over fitted to cater to the source language. However, with the proliferation of the Internet and the social media, language mixing is fairly common and most such systems fail if words derived from other languages are introduced. In this research, we aim to build better transliteration systems that can better model the language under consideration and incorporate additional features that can offset the over fitting problem described above. Also we explore how inherent language similarities can be used to bootstrap transliteration systems for resource poor languages. We explore how classical techniques in machine translation and information retrieval can be adapted to the problem in hand to build better and more robust systems.

Download or read book Machine Translation with Minimal Reliance on Parallel Resources written by George Tambouratzis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unified view on a new methodology for Machine Translation (MT). This methodology extracts information from widely available resources (extensive monolingual corpora) while only assuming the existence of a very limited parallel corpus, thus having a unique starting point to Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). In this book, a detailed presentation of the methodology principles and system architecture is followed by a series of experiments, where the proposed system is compared to other MT systems using a set of established metrics including BLEU, NIST, Meteor and TER. Additionally, a free-to-use code is available, that allows the creation of new MT systems. The volume is addressed to both language professionals and researchers. Prerequisites for the readers are very limited and include a basic understanding of the machine translation as well as of the basic tools of natural language processing.

Download or read book A Linguist friendly Machine Translation System for Low resource Languages written by Ronald M. Lockwood and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-resource languages have largely been left out of the machine translation revolution. Speakers would benefit from machine translation for many different tasks if it were available. Because of insufficient text data, the results of using statistical machine translation are subpar. The best choice for these languages is probably a transfer-based approach where rules define how to translate from one language to another. Unfortunately, the transfer-based systems available today are not easy to use for anyone outside the computational linguistics field. This thesis presents a transfer-based system that is easy to use for ordinary linguists. It is linguist-friendly because a central component is the intuitive application Fieldworks Language Explorer. This application serves as the repository for lexicons, the place where entries are linked and the tool for the analysis piece of the analysis-transfer-synthesis-style system. Apertium, the well-established open-source machine translation platform, is used for the transfer piece of the system and STAMP for the synthesis piece. All of these programs are well-documented. The linguist's role is to link lexicon entries and write transfer rules to do either word or syntactic-level translation. Although this machine translation system is a proof-of-concept system, I show that it translates texts successfully in a test case using Persian and Gilaki. Such a system can be used by ordinary linguists all over the world for almost any language pair where machine translation is needed.
Download or read book MacHine Translation Among Closely Related Languages written by Gurpreet Josan and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine Translation has always been a challenging problem among the researchers. Work for the development of machine translation systems for Indian languages is still in infancy. Being a multi- lingual country, India needs such system for breaking the language barrier among Indian masses. Machine translation is not a trivial task by nature of translation process itself. But machine translation of closely related languages eases the task. Research in the field of machine translation of closely related languages faces major problems mainly related to the source text normalization, word sense disambiguation, transliteration, named entity recognition and transfer rules. The objective of this book is to addresses the problems in the various stages of the development of a direct machine translation system, keeping in view the language pair Punjabi and Hindi, and discusses potential solutions. This book should be especially useful to professionals and researchers who are doing research in Machine translation among closely related langauges.
