@conference {13862, title = {Spanish EuroWordNet and LCS-Based Interlingual MT}, booktitle = {IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE MT SUMMIT WORKSHOP ON INTERLINGUAS IN MT}, year = {1997}, month = {1997///}, abstract = {We present a machine translation framework in which the interlingua -- Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS) -- is coupled with a definitional component that includes bilingual (EuroWordNet) links between words in the source and target languages. While the links between individual words are language-specific, the LCS is designed to be a language-independent, compositional representation. We take the view that the two types of information -- shallower, transfer-like knowledge as well as deeper, compositional knowledge -- can be reconciled in interlingual machine translation, the former for overcoming the intractability of LCS-based lexical selection, and the latter for relating the underlying semantics of two words cross-linguistically. We describe the acquisition process for these two information types and present results of hand-verification of the acquired lexicon. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the two information types in interlingual MT.}, author = {Dorr, Bonnie J and Marti,M. Antonia and Castellon,Irene} }
