NSOAMT -- New Search Only Approach to Machine Translation
João Luís Diogo Cardoso José Marques Luís Campos
Translation automation mechanisms and tools have been developed for several
years to bring people who speak different languages together. A "new search
only approach to machine translation" was adopted to tackle some of the
slowness and inaccuracy of the other technologies. The idea is to develop a
solution that, by indexing an incremental set of words that combine a certain
semantic meaning, makes it possible to create a process of correspondence
between their native language record and the language of translation. This
research principle assumes that the vocabulary used in a given type of
publication/document is relatively limited in terms of language style and word
diversity, which enhances the greater effect of instantaneously and rigor in
the translation process through the indexing process. A volume of electronic
text documents where processed and loaded into a database, and analyzed and
measured in order confirm the previous premise. Although the observed and
projected metric values did not give encouraging results, it was possible to
develop and make available a translation tool using this approach.
