Abstract:

One of the hardest problems for automatic translation is generating wordsand inflections that are obligatory in the target language, but not in thesource language. This work is the first to provide a fully implementedsolution to the problem of generating determiners and determining number.Using a semantic representation and a series of three heuristic algorithms,this solution provides the most probable context-sensitive translation. Itgives insight into natural language processing in general, and machinetranslation, semantic analysis, and generation from underspecified inputsin particular. This book finishes with an extensive evaluation of theimplemented algorithms.

Francis Bond is a research scientist at NTT Communication ScienceLaboratories at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation.
