| Abstract | This study concerns with investigating and building a connectionist model of English-toVietnamese machine translation. The proposed model integrates all the connectionist tasks into a single and coherent framework. In addition, this model could be developed into an interlingua system that can translate an English sentence into many sentences of many natural languages (one-to-many interlingua system). The SEnglish and SVietnamese languages are the two subsets of English and Vietnamese. They are used as the source and target languages of the proposed model. SEnglish defines the relatively complex sentences by a stochastic context-free grammar. The meaning of a SEnglish sentence is represented by a set of propositions. SVietnamese is only defined by a context-free grammar. A SVietnamese sentence is generated from a set of propositions. In this model, a recurrent neural network is trained to understand a relatively complex SEnglish sentence by translating it into a set of propositions, which will be translated into the SVietnamese sentence later. This study also implements and tests the proposed model by a very simple SEnglish language whose sentences have only one proposition. |
