Abstract:We have previously developed a framework for bi-directional English-to-Chinese/Chinese-to-English machine translation using semi-automatically induced grammars from unannotated corpora. The framework adopts an example-based machine translation (EBMT) approach. This work reports on three extensions to the framework.

Second, we seek an automat… Show more
