Abstract

This paper describes an Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) system implemented on massively parallel computers. EBMT is a novel approach to machine translation that directly uses translation examples to carry out translation tasks . The authors have shown that EBMT attains substantially higher accuracy than traditional machine translation systems. However , EBMT is so computationally demanding that the system would run very slowly on sequential machines and even on a loosely-coupled multi-processor iPSC/2 . We have implemented EBMT on an IXM2 massively parallel associative memory processor and a CM-2 connection machine . Experimental results demonstrate that EBMT on the IXM2 exhibits the best performance and attains aresponse speed that will suffice for real-time tasks such as interpreting telephony.
