A Robust Machine Translation System
Rika Yoshi · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1986
This paper presents an expectation-based Japanese-to-English translation system called JETR. JETR is designed to translate recipes and other instruction booklets containing ungrammatical and abbreviated sentences. JETR is able to preserve the syntactic style of the source text without carrying syntactic information in the internal representation. JETR's inferencer is able to determine the number (plural or singular) of nouns, fill ellipses and resolve pronoun references.
