MT goes farming

چکیده
In the paper we present detailed analyses of two machine translation systems when applied to documents of a previously unseen domain: agricultural texts from the European Union. The two systems compared are a statistical machine translation (SMT) system using the freely available ISI ReWrite Decoder (Germann, 2003a), and the rule-based machine translation system MATS (Sågvall Hein et al., 2002). For the purpose of comparison we use a sentence-aligned Swedish-English corpus of approximately 75,000 words per language, where 90% are used for training and 10% are used for evaluation. In the paper we discuss the outcome of automatic evaluation and the results of our manual quality assessment.

متن کاملGoat Milk in Human Nutrition and Health – A Review
In many countries, goat farming is the important part from the economy point of the view; especially in the Mediterranean and Middle East region. Goat farming is well organized in France, Italy, Spain and Greece (Park and Haenlein, 2006). Industrialization of the goat milk is not well successed because of its poor and insufficient volume. From 1990, interest in the goat milk production is incre...
متن کاملSensitivity of Automated MT Evaluation Metrics on Higher Quality MT Output: BLEU vs Task-Based Evaluation Methods
We report the results of an experiment to assess the ability of automated MT evaluation metrics to remain sensitive to variations in MT quality as the average quality of the compared systems goes up. We compare two groups of metrics: those which measure the proximity of MT output to some reference translation, and those which evaluate the performance of some automated process on degraded MT out...
