Example-Based Grammar Abstraction and Machine Translation via Spread of Activation
This article presents an experimental machine translator capable of learning the grammatical and translational properties of languages based on bilingually aligned example sentences. Newly-learned linguistic information is inte-grated into the knowledge network, which forms grammatical abstraction hierarchies for each language learned. Translation is achieved via spreading activation over the knowledge net-work. The systems performance was assessed in terms of general learning capacity, one-to-many and flexible word order translation tasks. Its learning algorithm and potential are discussed, and finally the direction of future research is suggested.
