New Generation Systran Translation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the design of the new generation Systran translation systems, currently utilized in the development of English-Hungarian, English-Polish, English-Arabic, French-Arabic, Hungarian-French and Polish-French language pairs. The new design, based on the traditional Systran machine translation expertise and the existing linguistic resources, addresses the following aspects: efficiency, modularity, declarativity, reusability, and maintainability. Technically, the new systems rely on intensive use of state-of-the-art finite automaton and formal grammar implementation. The finite automata provide the essential lookup facilities and the natural capacity of factorizing intuitive linguistic sets. Linguistically, we have introduced a full monolingual description of linguistic information and the concept of implicit transfer. Finally, we present some by-products that are directly derived from the new architecture: intuitive coding tools, spell checker and syntactic tagger.

Customization of Machine Translation (MT) is a prerequisite for corporations to adopt the technology. It is therefore important but nonetheless challenging. Ongoing implementation proves that XML is an excellent exchange device between MT modules that efficiently enables interaction between the user and the processes to reach highly granulated structure-based customization. Accomplished through...

When the Commission of the European Communities bought its first Systran system in 1976, in what might be called the bronze age of machine translation, it was a system of some 30 000 lines of programming and came with a dictionary of around 6 000 entries. Today, such figures appear laughably small, but for our purposes, Systran was the best there was. Faced with a growing mountain of documents ...

This paper describes SYSTRAN submissions for the shared task of the third Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation at ACL. Our main contribution consists in a French-English statistical model trained without the use of any human-translated parallel corpus. In substitution, we translated a monolingual corpus with SYSTRAN rule-based translation engine to produce the parallel corpus. The result...

In this paper, we use the Systran machine translation system for translating queries for cross language image retrieval in a pilot experiment at CLEF 2003, called ImageCLEF. The approach we have taken is to assume we have little experience in CLIR, few available resources and a limited time in which to create a working CLIR system for this task. In this preliminary study, we investigate the eff...
