The Pangloss-Lite machine translation system.

Abstract

performance are presented in section 2 below. To allow its use in the widest variety of applications, PanLite has been designed to translate strings provided either on the standard input or via network sockets, and to produce as output either the best 1 Pangloss was a joint project between three sites: the Computing Research Laboratory of New Mexico State University, the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California, and the Center for Machine Translation of Carnegie Mellon University. It was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. composite string or the full chart of scored translated segments. The latter is necessary, for example, when the output will be supplied to an external graphical user interface (GUI) for post-editing. PanLite has already been included as the MT component of the prototype DIPLOMAT rapiddeployment speech-to-speech translation system (see section 3, below). A potential future application of PanLite is as
