Report on the Japanese-English Generation System
Abstract:This report concerns the J-E output of the TDMT system, based on its performance on all the examples in the corpora accessed via: JE-closed/JE-japanese, JE-closed/JE-original, and JE-original/JE-training. Over a period of 4 months I worked
on the output of the J-E system, with a goal of improving the naturalness of the
English output. This goal was achieved with good success given the current TDMT
system.
This report provides an overview of the kinds of generation problems that I initially
encountered, and then briefly discusses the changes made. Finally, I discuss the
various remaining problems, which all involve contextual information.
