In
what sense is Anusaaraka BETTER than other MT systems?
- It
is an
Incremental Robust Machine Translation System
- An
Incremental Machine Translation
- layered
output
- Successive
layers more and more close to MT.
- Robust
- Clear
cut separation of the resources that are in principle
reliable from those that involve probabilistic
component.
- Graceful
degradation (In case of failures it produces a 'rough'
translation)
It is not 'rough' in the sense that
is not accurate or precise, but in the sense
that it requires some human effort to understand the text.
(compare with 'rough journey' where you are taken to the
destination, but the journey is not comfortable.)
-
It makes the whole process of MT 'completely
transparent' to the user.
Anusaaraka:
User Transparency
The
architecture of Anusaaraka makes the whole process of Machine
Translation transparent to even a layman.
The
interfaces on top of different linguistic tools such as parsers
assure that even a layman with an aptitude for 'language analysis'
can contribute to the development of a Machine Translation system
even without any exposure to the formal linguistic training.
The
user-cum-developer can contribute at any level that suits his
aptitude and his capabilities.
