Subject:  Summary, machine translation

About 2 weeks ago, I posted a request for web sites from where references
about the application of neural networks in the field of machine translation
can be found. I received some helpful information from the following people:

R*mi Zajac
Chris Brockett
Marie-Louise Hannan
Tim Pulju

and I would like to express my sincere thanks to them here. I have
downloaded the 3rd and the 8th chapters of the book *Survey of the State of
the Art of Human Language Technology", and found excellent references for
both chapters.

3. From: hannan at citi.doc.ca (M.-L. Hannan [TAO])
>In response to your query concerning machine translation using neural
>networks, I am forwarding the following announcement to you. The book
>is in electronic form and is available through the Internet.
>This book no doubt covers a lot more ground than you were necessarily
>interested in, but it will probably enable you to situate whatever you
>do find within the context of the history and state-of-the-art in MT.
>See especially Chapter 8, Multilinguality, for an overview of the
>history of machine translation efforts.
