Language Research Areas
  • Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT)
  • People Dr A. Way
  • M. Hearne Hybrid (Stats rule-based)
    Machine Translation
  • N. Gough Web-Based Machine Translation
  • Overview
  • We are currently investigating two approaches to
    MT which can broadly be described as EBMT
  • a) Marker-based EBMT
  • b) DOT and LFG-DOT

Language Research Areas
Example Based Machine Translation
Given John went to school Jean est allé à
lécole. The butchers is next to the bakers La
boucherie est à côté de la boulangerie.
Isolate useful fragments John went to
Jean est allé à the bakers la
boulangerie We can now translate John went to
the bakers as Jean est allé à la boulangerie.

Language Research Areas
  • Speaker Characterisation
  • People Dr J. McKenna
  • M. Tooher Machine Learning of Speaker
    Characteristic
  • Speech Dynamics and Interactions
  • Overview
  • Our research aims to separate the linguistic
    content of speech from that containing
    speaker-specific information.

Language Research Areas
  • CALL
  • use of XML technologies
  • specific requirements for Endangered Languages
  • e.g. computing.dcu.ie/mward/nawat.html
  • interest from UNESCO, European Bureau of Lesser
    Used Languages
  • working with projects in Siberia and Togo/Benin
  • VOCALL (Vocationally oriented CALL)

Intelligence
  • World Wide Mind project
  • People Dr M. Humphrys, R. Walshe. C. OLeary,
    D. OConnor
  • Overview
  • This is a new idea for decentralising the work in
    AI by putting agent mind and worlds online as
    reusable servers
  • This work proposes that the construction of
    advanced artificial minds may be too difficult
    for any single lab
  • No easy system exists whereby a working mind can
    be made from the components of two or more labs
  • Our system aims to change this and accelerate the
    growth of AI

  • Society of Mind constructed from Multiple servers
  • 1. client talks to
  • 1. MindM, which talks to
  • 1. Mind
  • 2. MindM, which talks to
  • 1. Mind
  • 3. MindAS, which talks to
  • 1. Mind
  • 2. MindM, which talks to
  • 1. Mind
