What is Example-Based Machine Translation?

چکیده
We maintain that the essential feature that characterizes a Machine Translation approach and sets it apart from other approaches is the kind of knowledge it uses. From this perspective, we argue that Example-Based Machine Translation is sometimes characterized in terms of inessential features. We show that Example-Based Machine Translation, as long as it is linguistically principled, significantly overlaps with other linguistically principled approaches to Machine Translation. We make a proposal for translation knowledge bases that make such an overlap explicit.

Towards a definition of example-based machine translation
The example-based approach to MT is becoming increasingly popular. However, such is the variety of techniques and methods used that it is difficult to discern the overall conception of what examplebased machine translation (EBMT) is and/or what its practitioners conceive it to be. Although definitions of MT systems are notoriously complex, an attempt is made to define EBMT in contrast to other ...
متن کاملNon-hybrid Example-based Machine Translation Architectures
A general definition of rationalist and empiricist natural language processing is attempted. A classification of empiricist machine translation systems is given based on the rationalist/empiricist distinction. Examples of approaches falling into the two different strategies are discussed. Research results are reported from attempts to break new ground in what is referred to as "pure" or non-hyb...
متن کاملA new model for persian multi-part words edition based on statistical machine translation
Multi-part words in English language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. Persian language consists of multi-part words as well. Based on Persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. This common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...
متن کاملEBMT Experiments for the English-Romanian Language Pair
The paper describes an attempt of constructing an example-based machine translation application for the English-Romanian language pair by making the best possible use of the resources and the pre-processing tools available in our working group. Therefore, the application is not necessarily innovative in the general field of EBMT, but an experiment of what can be done with specific resources and...
متن کاملA Hybrid Machine Translation System Based on a Monotone Decoder
In this paper, a hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system is proposed by combining the result of a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system with a statistical approach. The RBMT uses a set of linguistic rules for translation, which leads to better translation results in terms of word ordering and syntactic structure. On the other hand, SMT works better in lexical choice. Therefore, in our sys...
