Hays. He led the MT effort at RAND back in the 50s and 60s, was one of the authors of the ALPAC report, wrote the first textbook in computational linguistics, was instrumental in founding t@Diderothe Association for Computational Linguistics and so forth. I'll be adding an article about Hays himself, then I'll link it to this article, and, as I said, make a some changes to the history section.@ 2001:44C8:440D:F5BF:1:1:CC00:80AF (talk) 20:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

message: does anyone else think this is a joke?
Although there is no system that provides the holy-grail of "Fully automatic high quality machine translation" (FAHQMT), many systems provide reasonable output.
FAHQ MT? Who came up with this acronym? Isn't there a less dramatic and confusing way to summarize that machine translation isn't as high quality as human translation, but produces practical results?
- enjone
: I think that the actual acronym is FAHQT (Fully Automated High Quality Translation) and dates back to 1950s. Atleast Yehoshua Bar-Hillel uses this acronym on his 1960 article
:The Present Status of Automatic Translation of Languages on which he refers to his prior work at 1952 on the first machine translation conference. I couldn't get my hands on that article anywhere, but I'd wager that it is where the term was first coined as suggested by John Hutchins on his 2001 article Machine translation over fifty years (and number of other articles by him).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.27.78.126 (talk) 11:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Footnotes

message: The first attempts at machine translation were conducted after World War II. It was assumed at this time that the newly invented computers would have no trouble in translating texts. The reasoning was that computers were able to do complex mathematics quickly, something that humans did with more difficulty. On the other hand, even young children were able to learn to understand human language; therefore, computers could do the same. In actual fact, this belief was soon shown to be incorrect. 
On 7 January 1954, the Georgetown-IBM experiment, the first public demonstration of a MT system, was held in New York at the head office of IBM. The demonstration was widely reported in the newspapers and received much public interest. The system itself, however, was no more than what today would be called a "toy" system, having just 250 words and translating just 49 carefully selected Russian sentences into English — mainly in the field of chemistry. Nevertheless it encouraged the view that MT was imminent — and in particular stimulated the financing of MT research, not just in the US but worldwide.
The first serious MT systems were used during the Cold War to parse texts in Russian scientific journals. The rough translations produced were sufficient to understand the "gist" of the articles. If an article discussed a subject deemed to be of security interest, it was sent to a human translator for a complete translation; if not, it was discarded. The governmental support was however cut down in 1966, after the report of ALPAC, a committee established in order to review the investments, which considered that machine translation, despite the expenses, was not likely to reach the quality of a human translator.
Although the ALPAC report had tremendous impact on research in machine translation, there were notable exceptions; SYSTRAN, for example, managed to attract commercial and defence/security customers and survived the decrease of direct governmental funding. Limited field of use systems have also been successful in a number of specialized applications, for instance the METEO System has been used in Canada since 1977 to translate weather forecasts from English to French and now translates close to 80,000 words a day or 30 million words a year.
The advent of low-cost and more powerful computers towards the end of the 20th century brought MT to the masses, as did the availability of sites on the Internet. They are of particular interest to countries in East Asia wishing to export to the North American and European markets. 
Much of the effort previously spent on MT research, however, has shifted to the development of computer-assisted translation (CAT) systems, such as translation memories, which are seen to be more successful and profitable. Although the two concepts are similar, machine translation (MT) should not be confused with computer-assisted translation (CAT) (also known as machine-assisted translation (MAT)).
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.

message: It has been reported that in April 2003 Microsoft began using a hybrid MT system for the translation of a database of technical support documents from English to Spanish. The system was developed internally by Microsoft's Natural Language Research group. The group is currently testing an English-Japanese system as well as bringing English-French and English-German systems online. The latter two systems use a learned language generation component, whereas the first two have manually developed generation components. The systems were developed and trained using translation memory databases with over a million sentences each.
Probably true, but I'd like to see a citation. - FrancisTyers · 13:38, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a suggestion for a machine-translatable Wikipedia.  The current state of machine translation is that it is not possible to reliably translate natural language.  In fact, complete grammars of natural languages have yet to be written.
However, a basic English grammar that fulfills the purposes of most communication would be easy to write in a few dozen augmented context-free rules.  The syntax would be unambiguous and therefore more easy to reliably parse by machine.  And an unambiguous vocabulary could be developed.  This has been done before, for example, by Caterpillar and Xerox, and some others.
Once this grammar and vocabulary were developed, it could be used to start a new standardized English Wikipedia, something like std.wikipedia.org.  This Wikipedia would have an automatic standardized grammar checker built-in so that edits would have to be grammatical in order to be saved.  That is not as difficult as it sounds, since as an automatically grammar-checked page it can provide grammar hints.
In addition, the vocabulary to the language could be extensible by user suggestion, so that proper names can be added.
This version of Wikipedia would also be somewhat more resistant to idle vandalism.
Once this new Standardized English Wikipedia were in place, it should be possible to develop a program to automatically and (mostly) reliably translate between English and other languages.  That is my suggestion.  LaggedOnUser 17:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Something like the Voice of America special English broadcasts that use a carefully chosen restricted vocabulary. For general use, I think machine translation is best for someone who has had a year or two of the foreign language that the machine is translating. That way you can compare the text yourself so you won't be tricked by a "poison cookie" the machine messes up on. Good Wikipedia articles are better than average as targets for machine translation since they are usually fairly well written and don't have overly complex grammar. For example, I've tried using Google Translate's Arabic -> English translation engine. The results are mostly understandable but I wouldn't rely on it since I haven't studied Arabic. However, I did take a year of Russian and feel confident enough that I could puzzle out where the machine messes up so I would be much more confident using machine translation from Russian.DavidCowhig 06:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Article currently states:
> The translation process may be stated as:
   1. Decoding the meaning of the source text; and

Behind this ostensibly simple procedure lies a complex cognitive operation. <
I think this is false, I can't make much sense of "decode", what should mean exactly is quite blurred.
In reality machine translation usally works like this:
Translate from input natural language A to common artificial language X
Translate from common artificial language X to output natural language B
(where X may be esperanto or other construct)
Not that it matters much, without true AI the net result will always be like "bard in, junk out". 82.131.210.162 18:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

WP is not a newspaper or a research journal; it should be cautious about reporting on new technology. The long list of references does not meet the notion of independent, reliable, sources. WP also wants secondary sources rather than primary sources. We cannot pass judgment on the merits of new technology based on primary sources; see WP:NOR.
