A MT System from Turkmen to Turkish employing finite state and statistical methods
In this work, we present a MT system from Turkmen to Turkish. Our system exploits the similarity of the languages by using a modified version of direct translation method. However, the complex inflectional and derivational morphology of the Turkic languages necessitate special treatment for word-by-word translation model. We also employ morphology-aware multi-word processing and statistical disambiguation processes in our system. We believe that this approach is valid for most of the Turkic languages and the architecture implemented using FSTs can be easily extended to those languages
A prototype machine translation system between Turkmen and Turkish
In this work, we present a prototype system for translation of Turkmen texts into Turkish. Although machine translation (MT) is a very hard task, it is easier to implement a MT system between very close language pairs which have similar syntactic structure and word order. We implement a direct translation system between Turkmen and Turkish which performs a word-to-word transfer. We also use a Turkish Language Model to find the most probable Turkish sentence among all possible candidate translations generated by our system
Lexicalization and Grammar Development
In this paper we present a fully lexicalized grammar formalism as a
particularly attractive framework for the specification of natural language
grammars. We discuss in detail Feature-based, Lexicalized Tree Adjoining
Grammars (FB-LTAGs), a representative of the class of lexicalized grammars. We
illustrate the advantages of lexicalized grammars in various contexts of
natural language processing, ranging from wide-coverage grammar development to
parsing and machine translation. We also present a method for compact and
efficient representation of lexicalized trees.Comment: ps file. English w/ German abstract. 10 page
Learning Parse and Translation Decisions From Examples With Rich Context
We present a knowledge and context-based system for parsing and translating
natural language and evaluate it on sentences from the Wall Street Journal.
Applying machine learning techniques, the system uses parse action examples
acquired under supervision to generate a deterministic shift-reduce parser in
the form of a decision structure. It relies heavily on context, as encoded in
features which describe the morphological, syntactic, semantic and other
aspects of a given parse state.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, 3 postscript figures, uses aclap.st
