A tree-based approach for English-to-Turkish translation

Abstract

In this paper, we present our English-to-Turkish translation methodology, which adopts a tree-based approach. Our approach relies on tree analysis and the application of structural modification rules to get the target side (Turkish) trees from source side (English) ones. We also use morphological analysis to get candidate root words and apply tree-based rules to obtain the agglutinated target words. Compared to earlier work on English-to-Turkish translation using phrase-based models, we have been able to obtain higher BLEU scores in our current study. Our syntactic subtree permutation strategy, combined with a word replacement algorithm, provides a 67% relative improvement from a baseline 12.8 to 21.4 BLEU, all averaged over 10-fold cross-validation. As future work, improvements in choosing the correct senses and structural rules are needed.approach has three phases. In the first phase, we translate a set of preselected words to *NONE* according to their POS tags. In the second phase, for any node in the tree, we make a decision based on the rules to either

An Intelligent Recognition of English Translation Based on Improved GLR Algorithm

“…Machine translation is the use of computers to achieve automatic translation, or an attempt to fully automate or partially automate the translation process from one human language to another human language. Its core is the translation process automation [3]. e object of machine translation research is the natural language used for human communication, usually in the form of text.…”

Prediction of Translation Ability of Complex English Sentences Based on Artificial Neural Network

“…Translation is currently the main tool for international communication between different countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In recent years, with the development of the language and translation service market, the demand for translation of academic papers and works with professional, practical and academic values has grown rapidly [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

From Constituency to UD-Style Dependency: Building the First Conversion Tool of Turkish

“…Yıldız et al (2015) fine tuned this work by deleting empty projections, and rearranging the two word constructions that were appearing in one node due to the cross-linguistic consequences. In their study, Bakay et al (2019) translated sentences using a tree-based approach to deal with the long distance dependencies that are not present in the corresponding English sentences. These long distance dependencies occur as a result of the difference between English and Turkish in having a fixed word order and a flexible word order respectively.…”
