A synchronization structure of SSTC and its applications in machine translation
Mosleh Hmoud Al-Adhaileh, Tang Enya Kong, Zaharin Yusoff · 2002
In this paper, a flexible annotation schema called (SSTC) is introduced. In order to describe the correspondence between different languages, we propose a variant of SSTC called synchronous SSTC (S-SSTC). We will also describe how S-SSTC provides the flexibility to treat some of the non-standard cases, which are problematic to other synchronous formalisms. The proposed S-SSTC schema is well suited to describe the correspondence between different languages, in particular, relating a language with its translation in another language (i.e. in Machine Translation). Also it can be used as annotation for translation systems that automatically extract transfer mappings (rules or examples) from bilingual corpora. The S-SSTC is very well suited for the construction of a Bilingual Knowledge Bank (BKB), where the examples are kept in form of S-SSTCs.
