MT — myth, muddle or reality? Available to Purchase

The trend away from development of fully automatic machine translation (FAMT) is the result of failure to develop the foundation level of machine translation (MT) systems design theory. In order to create this level and establish reliably whether FAMT is achievable or not we will have to revise our view of the inter‐disciplinary approach. The paper ends with an assessment of the interdisciplinary approach as applied to date.
