Abstract

Abstract  Although corpus-based approaches to machine translation (MT) are growing in interest, they are not applicable when the translation involves less-resourced language pairs for which there are no parallel corpora available; in those cases, the rule-based approach is the only applicable solution. Most rule-based MT systems makeuse of part-of-speech (PoS) taggers to solve the PoS ambiguities in the source-language texts to translate; those MT systemsrequire accurate PoS taggers to produce reliable translations in the target language (TL). The standard statistical approachto PoS ambiguity resolution (or tagging) uses hid…(more)
