Traduction automatisée fondée sur le dialogue et documents auto-explicatifs : bilan du projet LIDIA

We present the work we carried out on the LIDIA project in the framework of dialogue-based machine translation for the monolingual author. Using a multilevel transfer linguistic approach, we have proposed and evaluated a technique to produce interactive disambiguation questions. The components involved in the translation process cooperate within a distributed architecture through a "light" document processing environment. We have also proposed the idea of Self-Explaining Documents. A SED is a document enriched with the answers provided by the author during interactive disambiguation. It gives readers, on demand, explanations about its intended meaning, in order to avoid any misunderstanding due to ambiguities.
