- W2412445637 abstract "The problems which attract machine translation developers are not necessarily those that loom large in practice. Only by exercising a system on large quantities of normal text, as at Georgetown in the 1950s, can it be made to reflect the needs of customers. After a brief historical summary, the relationship between practice and development is explored with reference to 'teaching', testing and technology. Ways are described in which systems were improved to take account of users' needs. The evaluation of machine translation is discussed, as is technological progress in the field. Practice is the best of all instructors. Publius Syrus, ca. 42 B.C. And practice drives me mad. Elizabethan MS., 1570 These two quotations in a sense sum up this paper on the relationship between practice and development in machine translation. Specifically, it deals with the needs of customers, and how those needs are reflected in systems. For this Georgetown University Round Table it is a particularly appropriate subject, for two reasons. Firstly, the Round Table is celebrating thirty-five years of machine translation. As you know, the first ever demonstration of machine translation on an electronic computer was the Georgetown/IBM experiment in 1954. The approach to machine translation here was pragmatic, firmly rooted in real text translated for real users. Georgetown dealt with the truly natural language found in 'translation as she is paid for', rather than the examples that occur to researchers. Not many people will pay for translations of Time flies like an arrow or even The cat sat on the mat. Secondly, this Round Table is concerned with 'Teaching, Testing, and Technology'. All of these have been crucial in machine translation (MT): teaching because a computer must be 'taught' about language; testing because this is a major factor in MT's development and use; and technology because it not only permitted MT in the first place, but has shaped the course it has followed ever since. History. Machine translation (MT) is translation generated by a computer, with or without human assistance (usually with it). In the mid" @default.
