Chart-based transfer rule application in Machine Translation
Adam Meyers, Michiko Kosaka, Ralph Grishman · 2000
Transfer-based Machine Translation systems require a procedure for choosing the set of transfer rules for generating a target language translation from a given source language sentence. In an MT system with many competing transfer rules, choosing the best set of transfer rules for translation may involve the evaluation of an explosive number of competing sets. We propose a solution to this problem based on current best-first chart parsing algorithms.
