LINGUISTIC AND COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES
IN MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEM DESIGN
2nd edition

Peter Whitelock, Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Oxford 
Kieran Kilby [deceased]

Publication date: April 1995
ISBN: 1-85728-216-7 224pp 
UK#35.00  HB

Studies in Computational Linguistics Series


DESCRIPTION:
The design and implementation of quality machine translation (MT) systems 
remains one of the principal aims of computational linguistics. This 
authoritative new edition of a well-established text provides a foundation 
for understanding design strategies by critically appraising and describing 
six of the major second generation MT systems. 

This textbook begins with a useful introduction to the basic linguistic and 
computational problems faced by MT systems designers. The six major software 
projects are then described and dissected in this context: SYSTRAN; TAUM-METEO;
 TAUM AVIATION; GETA ARIANE-78; Wilks' PS system; and METAL.

The second edition of this well-known text provides an up-to-date survey of 
the lessons learnt in major MT systems development. It will be an essential 
book for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals in machine 
translation.
