TRANSLATION BRAINS AND THE COMPUTER - BERNARD S...

This book is about machine translation (MT) and the classic problems associated with this
language technology. It examines the causes of these problems and  for linguistic  rule-based
systems  attributes the cause to language¿s ambiguity and complexity and their interplay in
logic-driven processes. For non-linguistic  data-driven systems  the book attributes
translation shortcomings to the very lack of linguistics. It then proposes a demonstrable way
to relieve these drawbacks in the shape of a working translation model (Logos Model) that has
taken its inspiration from key assumptions about psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic function.
The book suggests that this brain-based mechanism is effective precisely because it bridges
both linguistically driven and data-driven methodologies. It shows how simulation of this
cerebral mechanism has freed this one MT model from the all-important  classic problem of
complexity when coping with the ambiguities of language. Logos Model accomplishes this by a
data-driven process that does not sacrifice linguistic knowledge  but that  like the brain 
integrates linguistics within a data-driven process. As a consequence  the book suggests that
the brain-like mechanism embedded in this model has the potential to contribute to further
advances in machine translation in all its technological instantiations.
