TY - CHAP T1 - A Survey of Current Paradigms in Machine Translation T2 - Advances in Computers Y1 - 1999 A1 - Dorr, Bonnie J A1 - Jordan,Pamela W. A1 - Benoit,John W. ED - Zelkowitz, Marvin V AB - This paper is a survey of the current machine translation research in the US, Europe and Japan. A short history of machine translation is presented first, followed by an overview of the current research work. Representative examples of a wide range of different approaches adopted by machine translation researchers are presented. These are described in detail along with a discussion of the practicalities of scaling up these approaches for operational environments. In support of this discussion, issues in, and techniques for, evaluating machine translation systems are addressed.
