Using Grammatical and Semantic Correction Model to Improve Chinese-to-Taiwanese Machine Translation Fluency

Proceedings of the 34th Conference on Computational Linguistics and Speech Processing (ROCLING 2022)

Currently, there are three major issues to tackle in Chinese-to-Taiwanese machine translation: multi-pronunciation Taiwanese words, unknown words, and Chinese-to-Taiwanese grammatical and semantic transformation. Recent studies have mostly focused on the issues of multi-pronunciation Taiwanese words and unknown words, while very few research papers focus on grammatical and semantic transformation. However, there exist grammatical rules exclusive to Taiwanese that, if not translated properly, would cause the result to feel unnatural to native speakers and potentially twist the original meaning of the sentence, even with the right words and pronunciations. Therefore, this study collects and organizes a few common Taiwanese sentence structures and grammar rules, then creates a grammar and semantic correction model for Chinese-to-Taiwanese machine translation, which would detect and correct grammatical and semantic discrepancies between the two languages, thus improving translation fluency.

In view of the lack of overall specialized design services for harbour recreation in Taiwan nowadays, various marine recreational activities and marine scenic spots haven’t yet been planned and developed in the integration of services around the city and harbour. As there are not many state-of-the-art products and application services, and Taiwan’s harbour leisure services-related industries are facing the challenge of digital transformation. Institute for Information Industry proposed an innovative “Smart Future Recreational Harbour Application Service” project, taking Kaohsiung Asia’s New Bay Area as the main field of demonstration, Using multi-source knowledge graph integration and inference technology to recommend appropriate recreational service information, as a result, tourists can enjoy the best virtual reality intelligent human-machine interactive service experience during their trip.
