Machine Translation is a fascinating concept. The practical implications associated with it are visible and useful across all strata of the society. That is why that became the topic of my Final Year Project.
Hi, I am Rajkiran, currently in my final year of my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, at College of Engineering, Guindy. I am currently doing a MT project for Tamizh to English.
We had initially started out to approach this problem using UNL(Universal Networking Language). UNL approach to MT comes under the category of Interlingua approach, where the source language text is first converted into a language independent form(UNL, in this case) before it is translated into the target language text. Like all MT approaches, it has its pros and cons. One of the main pros, is that code becomes reusable. Since enconversion(Source->UNL) and deconversion(UNL->Target) are decoupled, this is one of the biggest advantages of UNL based MT. But, due to various reasons, we had to drop that approach and turn back to good old Statistical MT.
And, there begins my journey of Tamizh to English MT using Moses.
