1. Machine Translation: State of the Art, Trends and User Perspective.

Author

Krauwer, Steven

Abstract

Currently, no machine translation (MT) system is capable of successfully imitating the behavior of a human translator, and there exists no formal description of what an MT system is supposed to do. The biggest problem in practice is disambiguation. However, various types of existing systems do help reduce language barriers, even if they are poor imitations of the human translator. Users of such systems determine the utility of the systems. Three groups of users are distinguished: big companies and institutions; professional and occasional translators; and monolingual users. Big MT systems are becoming more cost-effective. Smaller systems providing high-quality output for restricted tasks and domains and multilingual systems based on spoken dialogue are being developed. Whereas market developments show a trend toward more specialized and restricted systems, the trend in research is to widen the scope of machine translation, moving from sentence to text, focusing on disambiguation based on domain restrictions, and using non-traditional statistical methods. Work is needed to provide lexicological and terminological resources for East European languages, and to create large collections of real-life data, including monolingual and bilingual text corpora.

2. ON THE THEORETICAL BASIS OF INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS. FINAL REPORT.

Author

Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Washington, DC. European Office of Aerospace Research., Institut National des Technologies de la Documentation, Paris (France)., and DE GROLIER, ERIC

Abstract

THIS REPORT IS A SURVEY OF AND COMMENTARY ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELDS OF INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND LINGUISTICS AND THE APPLICABILITY OF RESULTS TO THE FORMULATION OF INFORMATION RETRIEVAL LANGUAGES AND MACHINE TRANSLATION. COMMENTARY IS WEIGHTED TOWARD IMPARTING AN AWARENESS OF MANY OF THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF A REASONABLY EFFICIENT IR LANGUAGE, THE COMPLEXITIES INVOLVED IN TRANSLATING FROM ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER (BE IT NATURAL LANGUAGE, IR LANGUAGE, OR OTHER SYNTHETIC LANGUAGES), AND THE DIFFICULTIES INHERENT IN DESCRIBING CONCEPTS AND REPRESENTING MEANINGS. REAL AND PUTATIVE RELATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE BETWEEN LOGIC, LINGUISTICS, AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL ARE EXPLORED IN SOME DETAIL. A DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED OF CLASSIFICATION FROM A THEORETICAL POINT OF VIEW, INCLUDING--CLASSIFICATIONS OF LANGUAGE, TRADITIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC CLASSIFICATION, THE BRITISH CLASSIFICATION RESEARCH GROUP, THE PROBLEM OF CATEGORIES IN CLASSIFICATION, THE INTEGRATIVE LEVELS' APPROACH, AND THE PROBLEM OF "RELATIONS." ACTIVITIES IN THE UNITED STATES, EUROPE, AND THE SOVIET UNION ARE CONSIDERED.
