| Abstract | The interlingua (IL) in machine translation (MT) systems can be defined in terms of two components: (i) "lexical IL forms " within language-specific lexicons where each lexical entry has associated with it one or more lexical representations, and (ii) algorithms for creating and decomposing the instantiated "pivot " representation. Within this framework, we examine five different approaches to the level of representation for the lexical IL forms and then discuss a tool, ILustrate, 2 we are building to develop and evaluate different IL representations coupled with their corresponding translation algorithms. 1 |
