To bridge the language constraint of the people residing in northeastern region of India, machine translation system is a necessity. Large number of people in this region cannot access many services due to the language incomprehensibility. Among several languages spoken, Assamese is one of the major languages used in northeast India. Machine translation for Assamese language is limited compared to other languages. As a result, large number of people using Assamese language cannot avail lots of benefits associated with it. This paper has focused on the development of the English to Assamese translation system using n-gram model. The n-gram model works very well with the language pair having high dissimilarity in syntax compared to other models. The value of n has a very big role in the quality and efficiency of the system. Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) score differs significantly with the change of the n-gram. This model uses tuples to reduce the consumption of excess memory and to accelerate the translation process. Parallel corpus has been used for training the n-gram based decoder called MARIE. The number of translation units extracted using n-gram model is much less than the translation units extracted using phrase based model. This has a high impact on system efficiency.

The objective behind this paper is to analyze the English-Dogri parallel corpus translation. Machine translation is the translation from one language into another language. Machine translation is the biggest application of the Natural Language Processing (NLP). Moses is statistical machine translation system allow to train translation models for any language pair. We have developed translation system using Statistical based approach which helps in translating English to Dogri and vice versa. The parallel corpus consists of 98,973 sentences. The system gives accuracy of 80% in translating English to Dogri and the system gives accuracy of 87% in translating Dogri to English system.

AbstractThis paper describes the process of creation of the first machine translation system from Italian to Sardinian, a Romance language spoken on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. The project was carried out by a team of translators and computational linguists. The article focuses on the technology used (Rule-Based Machine Translation) and on some of the rules created, as well as on the orthographic model used for Sardinian.

This article presents Cadlaws, a new English–French corpus built from Canadian legal documents, and describes the corpus construction process and preliminary statistics obtained from it. The corpus contains over 16 million words in each language and includes unique features since it is composed of documents that are legally equivalent in both languages but not the result of a translation. The corpus is built upon enactments co-drafted by two jurists to ensure legal equality of each version and to re­flect the concepts, terms and institutions of two legal traditions. In this article the corpus definition as a parallel corpus instead of a comparable one is also discussed. Cadlaws has been pre-processed for machine translation and baseline Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (bleu), a score for comparing a candidate translation of text to a gold-standard translation of a neural machine translation system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest parallel corpus of texts which convey the same meaning in this language pair and is freely available for non-commercial use.

This submission describes the study of linguistically motivated features to estimate the translated sentence quality at sentence level on English-Hindi language pair. Several classification algorithms are employed to build the Quality Estimation (QE) models using the extracted features. We used source language text and the MT output to extract these features. Experiments show that our proposed approach is robust and producing competitive results for the DT based QE model on neural machine translation system.

N Gram

A language model provides connection to the decoding process to determine a precise word from several available options in the information base or phrase table. The language model can be generated using n-gram approach. Various language models and smoothing procedures are there to determine this model, like unigram, bigram, trigram, interpolation, backoff language model etc. We have done some experiments with different language models where we have used phrases in place of words as the smallest unit. Experiments have shown that phrase based language model yield more accurate results as compared to simple word based mode. We have also done some experiments with machine translation system where we have used phrase based language model rather than word based model and system yield great improvement.

Machine Translation is a subfield of Natural language Processing (NLP) which uses to translate source language to target language. In this paper an attempt has been made to make a Hindi Chhattisgarhi machine translation system which is based on statistical approach. In the state of Chhattisgarh there is a long awaited need for Hindi to Chhattisgarhi machine translation system for converting Hindi into Chhattisgarhi especially for non Chhattisgarhi speaking people. In order to develop Hindi Chhattisgarhi statistical machine translation system an open source software called Moses is used. Moses is a statistical machine translation system and used to automatically train the translation model for Hindi Chhattisgarhi language pair called as parallel corpus. A collection of structured text to study linguistic properties is called corpus. This machine translation system works on parallel corpus of 40,000 Hindi-Chhattisgarhi bilingual sentences. In order to overcome translation problem related to proper noun and unknown words, a transliteration system is also embedded in it. These sentences are extracted from various domains like stories, novels, text books and news papers etc. This system is tested on 1000 sentences to check the grammatical correctness of sentences and it was found that an accuracy of 75% is achieved.

We have developed an example-based machine translation (EBMT) system that uses the World Wide Web for two different purposes: First, we populate the system's memory with translations gathered from rule-based MT systems located on the Web. The source strings input to these systems were extracted automatically from an extremely small subset of the rule types in the Penn-II Treebank. In subsequent stages, the source, target translation pairs obtained are automatically transformed into a series of resources that render the translation process more successful. Despite the fact that the output from on-line MT systems is often faulty, we demonstrate in a number of experiments that when used to seed the memories of an EBMT system, they can in fact prove useful in generating translations of high quality in a robust fashion. In addition, we demonstrate the relative gain of EBMT in comparison to on-line systems. Second, despite the perception that the documents available on the Web are of questionable quality, we demonstrate in contrast that such resources are extremely useful in automatically postediting translation candidates proposed by our system.
