Abstract:

This book is the first volume that focuses on the specific challenges of
machine translation with Arabic either as source or target language. It
nicely fills a gap in the literature by covering approaches that belong to
the three major paradigms of machine translation: Example-based,
statistical and knowledge-based. It provides broad but rigorous coverage of
the methods for incorporating linguistic knowledge into empirical MT. The
book brings together original and extended contributions from a group of
distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. It is a welcome
and much-needed repository of important aspects in Arabic Machine
Translation such as morphological analysis and syntactic reordering, both
central to reducing the distance between Arabic and other languages. Most
of the proposed techniques are also applicable to machine translation of
Semitic languages other than Arabic, as well as translation of other
languages with a complex morphology.
