Improving Quality of Machine Translation Using Text Rewriting

Abstract

Machine Translation may be defined as the task of transformation of source text from one language to another. In the following paper, we have discussed the improvement in quality of Machine Translation (MT) using Source text Rewriting. We have performed English to Hindi translation on our MT system and also translation of rewritten English text to Hindi and then compared their performances and evaluated MT system based on 11 features sets as well as using automatic evaluation metrics such as BLEU, METEOR and F-Measure. We found that the performance of MT improved by using Text Rewriting approach.
