A Structured Prediction Approach for Statistical Machine Translation

We propose a new formally syntax-based method for statistical machine translation. Transductions between parsing trees are transformed into a problem of sequence tagging, which is then tackled by a search- based structured prediction method. This allows us to automatically acquire transla- tion knowledge from a parallel corpus without the need of complex linguistic parsing. This method can achieve compa- rable results with phrase-based method (like Pharaoh), however, only about ten percent number of translation table is used. Experiments show that the structured pre- diction approach for SMT is promising for its strong ability at combining words.

一个用于机器人自然语言理解的英语句法分析系统

在低挡微机中速度较慢的串行处理硬设备条件下，利用本文提出的启发式概念，分层搜索和匹配策略以及设置最大搜索长度等方法，可使推理速度提高一个数量级以上．此外，通过引入语义信息，分阶段消除歧义，自顶向下与自底向上相结合，以及把一般疑问句一律变成相应陈述句的方法，解决了自动英语句法分析中的一系列难题，缩小了知识库的规模。

一个数控自动编程系统的自然语言接口

本文简要介绍了一个数控自动编程专家系统的自然语言接口的实现.该自然语言接口是以我们研制的数控自动编程专家系统为背景,运行在 SUN3/4 工作站的 UNIX 下和 IBM/AT 机的 DOS 下,用 C语言编程.该自然语言接口由词法分析、句法分析、语义语用分析、目标生成和图形仿真五个模块及相应的知识库构成.该接口能够接受数控编程系统所需的对工件的英语自然语言描述并处理一些比较简单的英语语言现象.

运用神经网络完成汉字句子的格角色分配

According to PDP theory, the author tries to use ANN method in sentence understanding. In input layer, distributed knowledge representation and integrate syntactic, semantic information (of the word in Chinese sentence) and context information are used to complete the case role assignment of six types of Chinese sentence by parallel processing. The model is a four-layer forward network, consisting of input layer, two hidden layers, and output layer(case role layer). In addition, the neural network method and the traditional symbol processing method used in natural language understanding is compared and analyzed, and a conclusion could be made: the neural network should be used as a powerful tool in this area.
