Practical glossing by prioritised tiling
Pages 1060 - 1066
Abstract
We present the design of a practical context-sensitive glosser, incorporating current techniques for lightweight linguistic analysis based on large-scale lexical resources. We outline a general model for ranking the possible translations of the words and expressions that make up a text. This information can be used by a simple resource-bounded algorithm, of complexity O(n log n) in sentence length, that determines a consistent gloss of best translations. We then describe how the results of the general ranking model may be approximated using a simple heuristic prioritisation scheme. Finally we present a preliminary evaluation of the glosser's performance.

Recommendations
Word-for-word glossing with contextually similar words
NAACL 2000: Proceedings of the 1st North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics conferenceMany corpus-based machine translation systems require parallel corpora. In this paper, we present a word-for-word glossing algorithm that requires only a source language corpus. To gloss a word, we first identify its similar words that occurred in the ...
Unification-based glossing
IJCAI'95: Proceedings of the 14th international joint conference on Artificial intelligence - Volume 2We present an approach to syntax-based machine translation that combines unification-style interpretation with statistical processing. This approach enables us to translate any Japanese newspaper article into English, with quality far better than a word-...
ELECTRE methods in prioritized MCDM environment
Highlights- The application scope of ELECTRE methods is widened into complicated environment.
AbstractIn most cases, ELECTRE methods just apply to traditional multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems with independent criteria. However, there exist more or less interdependences among criteria in actual situations. A special case is ...
