  Machine translation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Machine translation (MT) is a form of translation where a computer program analyses the text in one language — the "source text" — and then attempts to produce another, equivalent text in another language — the target text — without human intervention.
Machine translation can use a method based on linguistic rules, which means that words will be translated in a linguistic way — the most suitable (orally speaking) words of the target language will replace the ones in the source language.
In machine translation, the translator supports the machine, that is to say that the computer or program translates the text, which is then edited by the translator, whereas in computer-assisted translation, the computer program supports the translator, who translates the text himself, making all the essential decisions involved.

 A Concept Map-Based Knowledge Modeling Approach to Expert Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge models of this sort contain content that is different from the more general information in typical reference material and that is organized quite differently than standard (sequential) textbook knowledge or mainstream hypermedia learning systems.
These knowledge models tend to be large and complex (reflecting the complexity of real domains of knowledge) with interwoven themes and rich interconnections of the concepts based on the expert's highly articulated mental model of the domain.
As this and other knowledge modeling projects have proceeded, it has become evident that the "real" expertise is not in the documents, texts, or even the procedural handbooks that the experts use, but rather in bits and pieces of these, organized to support the heuristic knowledge elicited to tie them all together.

 Introducing a new kind of publishing: The Electronic Knowledge Publishing
Knowledge, as we believe, is a basis of an ability of man to understand what is going and to act effectively in accordance with a situation.
Individual knowledge is an internal matter for a person, so no one needs, as a rule, to present this knowledge in external form for himself, such as text, picture etc. Sometime people use external objects to activate their knowledge, but as we think, if they have no knowledge inside already, nothing can be activated.
Thus there were appeared external presentations of knowledge such as speech, texts, pictures etc. Primarily a speech and derived from speech text, that is a pictorial presentation of speech, are main modes of external presentation of knowledge.

 Cutting Pasta by Machine
Hand-cranked machines are easier to clean because the dough is drier and is feed into the machine as a solid mass compared to the electric machine whose dough has a loose consistency.
The hand-cranked extrusion machine is slightly harder to clean than the cutting machine because the dies require a little additional work to clean.
The hand-cranked machine requires room to mix the dough, to knead and roll the dough, an area to lay the rolled pasta sheets before cutting, an area for the machine and a place to lay the finished pasta out on a floured surface.

 Machine Learning for Information Retrieval: Neural Networks, Symbolic Learning, and Genetic Algorithms
Knowledge engineers or system designers need to be able to identify subject and classification knowledge from some sources (usually some domain experts) and to represent the knowledge in computer systems.
Knowledge and information can be stored in single-layered interconnected neurons (nodes) and weighted synapses (links) and can be retrieved based on the network's parallel relaxation method - nodes are activated in parallel and are traversed until the network reaches a stable state (convergence).
We feel that the proper selection of knowledge representation and the adaptation of machine learning algorithms in the IR context are essential to the successful use of such techniques.

Not surprisingly, however, generating this knowledge for new domains is time-consuming, difficult, and error-prone, and requires the expertise of computational linguists familiar with the underlying NLP system.
Machine learning techniques for inductive learning have also become increasingly available and offer powerful mechanisms for simplifying the knowledge acquisition process.
The objective of this research is to address this knowledge engineering bottleneck for natural language processing (NLP) systems by developing algorithms that use inductive learning techniques to allow NLP systems to bootstrap their own knowledge bases directly from text.

 Machine Learning
The notes concentrate on the important ideas in machine learning---it is neither a handbook of practice nor a compendium of theoretical proofs.
In response to the difficulties of encoding ever-increasing volumes of knowledge in modern AI systems, many researchers have recently turned their attention to machine learning as a means to overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck.
Machine learning of grammars finds a variety of applications in syntactic pattern recognition, adaptive intelligent agents, diagnosis, computational biology, systems modelling, prediction, natural language acquisition, data mining and knowledge discovery.

 Embedding Machine learning & Knowledge Acquisition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Machine learning is concerned with developing algorithms capable of discovering new relationships -- expressed as rules -- between concepts in a given KB.
In the context of KBS, these activities can also be viewed as forms of automatic analysis of existing knowledge, resulting in novel interpretations of existing data and/or the discovery of new relationships and structures in initially unstructured data [Sommer1995c].
Early work in ML was not concerned with this embedded aspect of learning algorithms, but rather with ``pure'' algorithms that take input and produce a result (a concept or rule) not necessarily expressed in the same language as the input, and not interpreted in any way by the algorithm itself (one-shot learning).

 Glossary of Terms Journal of Machine Learning
This step usually precedes the machine learning step, although the knowledge discovery process may indicate that further cleaning is desired and may suggest ways to improve the quality of the data.
In most machine learning work, instances are described by feature vectors; some work uses more complex representations (e.g., containing relations between instances or between parts of instances).
In Knowledge Discovery, machine learning is most commonly used to mean the application of induction algorithms, which is one step in the knowledge discovery process.

 The Children's Machine by Seymour Papert
Knowledge is transmitted "through a pipeline from teacher to student" and is "treated like money, to be put away in a bank for the future".
He imagines a machine he refers to as "The Knowledge Machine" which would allow children a rich exploration of the world.
Whether or not Papert's Knowledge Machine or his little schools become a reality will constitute less of an imperative in terms of change than will our ability to reconceptualize learning.

One of the major bottlenecks in the construction of modern Machine Translation (MT) systems is the expense of acquiring large enough lexicons, grammars, collections of rules, etc., for the system to handle unrestricted input.
Generally, statistical techniques and statistically gathered knowledge provide large-scale coverage at a lower level of quality, while symbolic (linguistic and other traditional) techniques provide reduced coverage of the language but at higher levels of quality.
We summarize recent machine translation (MT) research at the Information Sciences Institute of USC, and we describe its application to the development of a Japanese-English newspaper MT system.

The great appeal of science fiction comes from the fact that it forms an uninhibited forum for developing the vision of the future society; a vision that is free of peer pressure, peer review and the debilitating compliance with the publish-or-perish principle.
Though the overall progress in artificial intelligence seems to be far from the point envisioned in the super-brain fiction, a different sort of tools and techniques creep into place with a potential to change the world as we know it; still with human factor playing the central role.
