Machine Translation of Spatial Expressions: Defining the Relation Between an Interlingua and a Knowledge Representation System
Abstract
In this paper we present one aspect of our research on machine translation (MT): defining the relation between the interlingua (IL) and a knowledge representation (KR) within an MT system. Our interest lies in the translation of natural language (NL) sentences where the "message" contains a spatial relation --- in particular, where the sentence conveys information about the location or path of physical entities in the real, physical world. We explore several arguments for clarifying the source of constraints on the particular IL structures needed to translate these sentences.
