Term Builder: a lexical knowledge acquisition tool for the Logos machine translation system.
Brigitte Orliac, Kutz Arrieta · 1999
Logos 8, the next generation of the Logos Machine Translation (MT) system, is a client server application, which realizes the latest advances in system design and architecture. A multi-user, networkable application, Logos 8 allows Internet or Intranet use of its applica-tions with client interfaces that communicate with dictionaries and translation servers through a common gateway. The new Lo-gos 8 technology is based on a relational da-tabase for storage and organization of the lexical data. In this paper, we present Term-Builder, the Lexical Knowledge Acquisition tool developed for Logos 8. The new auto-matic coding functionality within Term-Builder is significantly improving the process of acquiring new lexicons for MT and other applications. 1
