Papers

  1. Document Authoring the Bible for Minority Language Translation (2005)
    The paper describes The Bible Translator's Assistant (TBTA), a document-authoring and generation system built by the Summer Institute of Linguistics with a university group.

    Syntactic ellipsis leaves out required syntax. Semantic ellipsis leaves out meaning that a full interpretation needs, even when the syntax is complete. An example is a comparison of two percentages across two years that leaves out the verb (hiring). The paper describes how the OntoSem environment rebuilds such…

  5. KBMT-89 - A knowledge-based MT project at Carnegie Mellon University (1989)
    KBMT-89 is a prototype interlingua system for English and Japanese, in a subworld of personal-computer installation and maintenance manuals.
  6. On Knowledge-Based Machine Translation (1986)
    The paper describes the interlingua of the TRANSLATOR project, which is meant to represent the meaning of texts in a limited subworld.
