Handling non-compositionality in multilingual CNLs
Table 2: BLEU scores obtained from the SMT systems
['SMT system', 'newstest2011', 'newstest2012']
We evaluated the German nominal compounds detected by our algorithm based on their utility in the task of machine translation. In this experiment, we provided the detected nominals as possible dictionary items to an SMT pipeline and extracted a translation memory from a news domain corpora augmented with the nominal compounds. We evaluated the improvements in translation quality after augmenting the translation memories with these nominal compounds. Translation quality is evaluated in terms of BLEU score, a standard metric used in evaluating performance of MT systems. The BLEU scores are reported on standard test datasets used in the evaluation of SMT systems.
