Structural Semantic Correspondence For Example-Based Machine Translation
The main key challenge in Machine Translation (MT) is to preserve the meaning from the original source sentence to the target translation. This remains the core problem in Machine Translation, which leads to a number of issues, such as: how to analyze the meaning of text, what information should be...

Computer science The main key challenge in Machine Translation (MT) is to preserve the meaning from the original source sentence to the target translation. This remains the core problem in Machine Translation, which leads to a number of issues, such as: how to analyze the meaning of text, what information should be captured as the representation of meaning, how the meaning of a sentence should be represented (into what form and structure), how do we derive and generate target sentence based on this meaning information, etc. As the natural language is ambiguous in nature, the task of meaning treatment in MT systems is hence difficult. The idea of this study is to introduce semantic knowledge to improve the selection and matching of best translation examples in the Example-based Machine Translation (EBMT) system, also to facilitate a deeper semantic similarity measurement and evaluation of the matching examples.

The structural semantics of the English examples is transferred to other languages based on parallel alignment (aligned words and tree structures) in this BKB.
