Erferenheter av Swetra— ett svenskt MT-experiment

Sigurd, Bengt LU (1990) Proceedings of the 7th Nordic Conference of Computational Linguistics p.229-236
Abstract (Swedish)
Swetra is primarily a research project, but its computer programs and
reports may result in commercial products. The research group at Lund
consists of a few persons only, which has advantages eind disadvantages.
The main languages studied are Russian, English and Swedish. The grammatical model is Referent Grammar (RG) and the project is a spin-off
of the development of that grammar. Referent Grammar is inspired by
generalized phrase structure grammar (GPSG) and written directly in
Prolog (DCG), which is why the grammars can run directly on computers.
Arity Prolog and PC’s are used. The work within Swetra consists mainly
of writing grammar modules and lexicons for different languages. These... (More)
Swetra is primarily a research project, but its computer programs and

Arity Prolog and PC’s are used. The work within Swetra consists mainly
of writing grammar modules and lexicons for different languages. These
modules are connected in automatic translation. Referent grammars are
bidirectional and can be used both for analysis and synthesis (generation).
A certain number of transfer rules are also needed in translation, however,
in order to make necessary changes of functional representations, add
features such as definiteness when translating from Russian into English
etc. The paper gives a survey of the experience from Swetra reseeirch so
far. (Less)
