چکیده
In this paper we describe the many steps involved in building a production quality Machine Translation system for translating weather warnings between French and English. Although in principle this task may seem straightforward, the details, especially corpus preparation and final text presentation, involve many difficult aspects that are often glossed over in the literature. On top of the classic Statistical Machine Translation evaluation metric results, four manual evaluations have been performed to assess and improve translation quality. We also show the usefulness of the integration of out-of-domain information sources in a Statistical Machine Translation system to produce high quality translated text.

متن کاملCurrent Issues In Software Engineering For Natural Language Processing
In Natural Language Processing (NLP), research results from software engineering and software technology have often been neglected. This paper describes some factors that add complexity to the task of engineering reusable NLP systems (beyond conventional software systems). Current work in the area of design patterns and composition languages is described and claimed relevant for natural languag...
متن کاملThe role of natural language in requirements engineering
It is argued that the potential role of natural language processing in the requirements engineering process has been overstated in the past, possibly due to fundamental misunderstandings of the requirements engineering process itself. Since more realistic ambitions are likely to lead to less disappointment in the future, an effort is made to identify some phases and tasks where natural language...
متن کاملNatural Language User Interface For Software Engineering Tasks
In this paper, we present the idea to use natural language as the user interface for programming tasks. Programming languages assist with repetitive tasks that involve the use of conditionals, loops and statements. This is what is often challenging users. However, users can easily describe tasks in their natural language. We aim to develop a Natural Language User Interface that enables users to...
