Format tags implicitly represent content information in the same ambiguous, context dependent manner that words represent semantics in natural language. Translation from format to content markup shares many characteristics with tagging and parsing tasks in computational linguistics. The transformation-based learning (TBL) paradigm has recently been applied to numerous computational linguistics ...

This paper introduces the concept of controlled translation as the new working environment for the professional translator, and advances the idea that a new teaching scenario should emerge to cater for the needs of this controlled environment. In this context, we present how such scenario can be tailor-made to answer the needs of the translation industry. Namely, we concentrate on the introduct...

This paper investigates certain methods of training adopted in the Statistical Machine Translator (SMT) from English to Malayalam. In English Malayalam SMT, the word to word translation is determined by training the parallel corpus. Our primary goal is to improve the alignment model by reducing the number of possible alignments of all sentence pairs present in the bilingual corpus. Incorporatin...
