Re-engineering Machine Translation Systems through Symbiotic Approach

The paper presents a software re-engineering approach that is being used by a consortium of eleven academic institutions facilitated by a software engineering group to re-engineer previously developed natural language processing modules in laboratory environment, for developing eighteen machine translation (MT) systems covering nine pairs of Indic languages. This approach gives field deployable and maintainable MT systems (and modules) that can be reused as customizable components. The paper discusses its symbiotic approach of re-engineering modules, and also the experiences of developing MT systems in consortium mode. Following this approach, already seven MT systems have been developed and deployed on the web.
