Constraints on the Space of MT Divergences
Bonnie Jean Dorr, Clare R. Voss · 1993
This abstract addresses two questions with respect to the role of the lexicon in a machine translation (MT) system: 1. What types of MT divergences are appropriately characterized in the lexicon? 2. What are the principles governing the structures and processes of the lexicon that constrain the space of MT divergences? We start our discussion with the following definitions: MT Divergences: all source-language (SL), target-language (TL) sentence translation pairs, where the SL and TL sentences have different structures or convey different information.
