This paper documents an undergraduate course at Hunter College, in which one instructor, six undergraduates, and one high school student built 17 machine translation systems in six months from scratch. The team successfully participated in the second Conference on Machine Translation (WMT17) evaluation on the news task in Finnish-English and Latvian-English and on the bio-medical task in French...

In this paper we examine the sentence simplification problem as an English-to-English translation problem, utilizing a corpus of 137K aligned sentence pairs extracted by aligning English Wikipedia and Simple English Wikipedia. This data set contains the full range of transformation operations including rewording, reordering, insertion and deletion. We introduce a new translation model for text ...

translation of idioms seems to be complicated for most translators since the meaning of idioms is difficult and sometimes impossible to be deduced from the meaning of their individual components. considering the difficulties of translation of idioms and also the specific constraints of subtitling such as space and time limits, this research studied the strategies employed in translation of idio...

Google Translate provides a multilingual machinetranslation service by automatically translating one written language to another. Google translate is allegedly limited in its accuracy in translation, however. This study investigated the accuracy of Google Chinese-to-English translation from the perspectives of formality and cohesion with two comparisons: Google translation with human expert tra...

The issue of translation divergence is an important research topic in the area of machine translation. An exhaustive study of the divergence issues in MT is necessary for their proper classification and resolution. In the literature on MT, scholars have examined the issue and have proposed ways for their classification and resolution (Dorr 1993, 1994). However, the topic still needs further exp...

This paper presents the adapting rule based machine translation from English to Bangla. The proposed language translation model relies on rule based methodologies especially fuzzy rules. There are “If Then” basis rules are applied for the English to Bangla language translation. In this language translation, we use rough set technique for Knowledge Representation System. This technique is used t...
