Future directions of machine translation
Jun’ichi Tsujii · 1986
this paper, we will discuss several problems concerned with 'understanding and translation', especially how we can integrate the two lines of research, with their different histories and different techniques, into unified frameworks, and the difficulties we might encounter in attempting such an integration. The discussion wil] reveal some of the reasons why MT researches are so separated from the research in tile other application fields of NLP. We will also list some of the key problems, both linguistic and computational, which we encountered during the development of our MT systems, the Mu systems INsgee 1984, 85, 86] [Tsujii 1984, 85] [Nakamura 1984, 86 ] [Sakamoto 1984], and whose resolutions we consider to be of essential importance for future MT research and development
