Situation Semantics And Machine Translation
نویسنده
چکیده
Situation Semantics is one of the most recent and controversial theories in formal semantics. Machine Translation (MT) is a highly complex application domain, in which research is expensive of both time and resources. On the surface, the space for interaction between these two fields would seem fairly limited, and in practice the the application of formal semantics in MT has been very limited, a notable exception being the Rosetta project (Landsbergen 1982, 1987). The abstract translation problem however remains and any application must be based on some formalisation of the problem.

Translation and Hybridity in Scenes and Frames Semantics
The present study is a theoretical attempt to illustrate how Fillmore's Scenes and Frames Semantics (SFS) could be employed as a framework to portray the process of understanding and translating hybrid texts. It first reviews the origin of SFS; then it maps SFS onto Nida’s linguistic model of translation process and the Interpretive Theory of Translation; it examines in the next section, withi...

Two machine translation (MT) systems which respectively utilize the transfer and interlingua strategies will be presented and compared, emphasizing design principles. Feature structures and unification-based grammar are common denominators for the two MT systems; in particular, both make use of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). In the transfer system. Machine Translation Toolkit, developed by E...
متن کاملReconciling Situation Calculus and Fluent Calculus
The Situation Calculus and the Fluent Calculus are successful action formalisms that share many concepts. But until now there is no formal relation between the two calculi that would allow to formally analyze the relationship between the two approaches as well as between the programming languages based on them, Golog and FLUX. Furthermore, such a formal relation would allow to combine Golog and...

It is argued that the formal requirements and multilingual perspective of MT provide new criteria o f adequacy for...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics with Human Judgement on Persian Language
Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...
