Summary

Machine Translation (or MT for short) is a task in the field of computational linguistics which looks at translating some input in one natural language, in the form of text or speech, into another natural language with computer software.

Common Approaches

Some common approaches to Machine Translation include the following:

  • Rule-based, which includes transfer-based, interlingual, and dictionary-based translations
  • Statistical, which generates translations by using statistical methods on bilingual corpora
  • Example Based,
  • Hybrid, combines aspects of both rule-based and statistical machine translation
