In-Depth Knowledge-Based Machine Translation

Eduard H. Hovy

Abstract: The development of an integrated knowledge-based machine-aided translation system called PANGLOSS in collaboration with the Center for Machine Translation (CMT) at CMU and the Computing Research Laboratory (CRL) at New Mexico State University. The ISI part of the collaboration is focused initially on providing the system's output capabilities, primarily in English and then in other languages, including (some of) German, Chinese, and Japanese. Additional tasks are the maintenance and continued distribution of the Penman sentence generator and text planner and the development of ancillary knowledge sources and software.
