Another Stride Towards Knowledge-Based Machine Translation: An Entity Oriented Approach

Knowledge Translation in Healthcare – Towards Understanding its True Complexities; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”

This commentary argues that to fully appreciate the complexities of knowledge transfer one firstly has to distinguish between the notions of “data, information, knowledge and wisdom,” and that the latter two are highly context sensitive. In particular one has to understand knowledge as being personal rather than objective, and hence there is no form of knowledge that a-priori is more authoritat...

Machine Translation Approaches and Survey for Indian Languages

The term Machine Translation is a standard name for computerized systems responsible for the production of translations from one natural language into another with or without human assistance. It is a sub-field of computational linguistics that investigates the use of computer software to translate text or speech from one natural language to another. Many attempts are being made all over the wo...

Example-Based Machine Translation: A New Paradigm

Machine translation (MT) is aimed to enable a computer to transfer natural language utterances in either text or speech from one language into another while preserving the meaning and interpretation. MT technology has gone through several paradigms from its very beginning in the past half century, including word-to-word direct translation, rule-based transfer approach, inter-lingua approach and...

Towards a discourse relation-aware approach for Chinese-English machine translation

Translation of discourse relations is one of the recent efforts of incorporating discourse information to statistical machine translation (SMT). While existing works focus on disambiguation of ambiguous discourse connectives, or transformation of discourse trees, only explicit discourse relations are tackled. A greater challenge exists in machine translation of Chinese, since implicit discourse...
