AI总结:

Logovista日语-英语机器翻译系统是一个长期运行的规则基MT系统,通过结合语法规则、词典和解析技术,持续适应实际需求并保留了相关资源供未来研究。

摘要:

本文记录了Logovista日语-英语机器翻译系统的架构、开发实践和保留的成果,这是一个从1990年代初期到至少2012年一直被开发和商业销售的大型显式规则基MT系统。该系统结合了人工编写的语法规则、一个大型中心词典,该词典编码了句法和语义约束,并利用基于图表的解析和加权解释评分来管理广泛的结构歧义。本文强调了该系统在实际使用压力下如何扩展和维护,包括回归控制、歧义管理以及随着覆盖范围扩大所遇到的限制。与许多在研究环境中主要描述的规则基MT系统不同,Logovista在数十年间被部署,并不断根据实际需求演变。本文旨在作为技术性和历史性的记录,而不是为了重新激活规则基MT的论战,它描述了已保留的软件和语言资源,以供未来研究参考。

英文摘要:

This paper documents the architecture, development practices, and preserved artifacts of the Logovista English--Japanese machine translation system, a large, explicitly rule-based MT system that was developed and sold commercially from the early 1990s through at least 2012. The system combined hand-authored grammatical rules, a large central dictionary encoding syntactic and semantic constraints, and chart-based parsing with weighted interpretation scoring to manage extensive structural ambiguity. The account emphasizes how the system was extended and maintained under real-world usage pressures, including regression control, ambiguity management, and the limits encountered as coverage expanded. Unlike many rule-based MT systems described primarily in research settings, Logovista was deployed for decades and evolved continuously in response to practical requirements. The paper is intended as a technical and historical record rather than an argument for reviving rule-based MT, and describes the software and linguistic resources that have been preserved for potential future study.
