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.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/177","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/0177.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/177.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/bibtex/177","volume":{"slug":"1993","title":"Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1993","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/","year":1993,"location":"Chambéry, France","dates":"","editors":"Ruzena Bajcsy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":177,"pages":{"first":1283,"last":1288},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
