Hi!
Thank you for your interest. It is always nice to know that someone is
interested in my research!
I am trying to adapt a previous approach to learn shallow-transfer rules
from small parallel corpora*. In that approach, rules are learned from SL
segments extracted from the parallel corpus and their corresponding TL
translation, obtained by following the alignments detected. Instead of
that, in my approach, very common sequences in a monolingual corpus in SL
are provided to non-expert users, and they are asked to translate them.
They are encouraged to use the translation of each word according to the
bilingual dictionary and the context of the segment to translate in the SL
monolingual corpus is also provided.
I am also working to make the learned rules more general since, at the
moment, the left side of the rules contains all the inflection tags. For
instance, there is a rule for translating a masculine singular determiner
followed by a masculine singular noun, and there is a different rule to
translate a masculine plural determiner followed by a masculine plural
noun.
I will keep you informed of my progress.
Best regards,
Víctor M. Sánchez-Cartagena
