Apertium-fin-eng–Rule-based Shallow Machine Translation for WMT 2019 Shared Task

Abstract: In this paper I describe a rule-based, bidirectional machine translation system for the Finnish-English language pair. The original system is based on the existing data of FinnWordNet, omorfi and apertium-eng. I have built the disambiguation, lexical selection and translation rules by hand. The dictionaries and rules have been developed based on the shared task data. I describe in this article the use of the shared task data as a kind of a test-driven development workflow in RBMT development and show that it s… Show more

“…It uses other rule-based tools such as morphological generators and analyzers to conduct machine translation between a language pair. Apertium has been used successfully for many languages such as Finnish (Pirinen, 2019), Kazakh (Sundetova et al, 2014) Tatar and Bashkir (Tyers et al, 2012). As its strength has been proven with many other languages, it is only natural that our work would be based on Apertium.…”
