Yes, there is:

apertium-tagger-training-tools: Machine learning of better taggers using
target-language information
apertium-transfer-tools: Machine learning of transfer rules using
parallel corpora
apertium-lex-tools: Machine learning of lexical selection rules using
both monolingual and parallel corpora.

I don't think so. There are plenty of ways to apply machine learning
techniques to rule-based machine translation.

No, I don't think that this would be a good candidate for a machine
learning algorithm. Some of the ideas that would require machine
learning would be:

Corpus-based lexicalised feature transfer 
Improvements in lexical-selection module 
Accent and diacritic restoration 

There may be more tasks in the future.

You can use the command line :)
