Machine translation (MT) is one of the core application of natural language processing and an important branch of artificial intelligence research; statistical methods have already become the mainstream of machine translation. This paper explores the comparative analysis on the translation model of statistical natural language processing based on the large-scale corpus; discusses word-based, phrase-based and syntax-based machine translation methods respectively, summarizes the evaluation factors of machine translation and analyzes evaluation methods of machine translation.

Machine Translation is a machine that is going to automatically translate given sentences in a language to other particular language. This paper aims to test the effectiveness of a new model of machine translation which is factored machine translation. We compare the performance of the unfactored system as our baseline compared to the factored model in terms of BLEU score. We test the model in German-English language pair using Europarl corpus. The tools we are using is called MOSES. It is freely downloadable and use. We found, however, that the unfactored model scored over 24 in BLEU and outperforms the factored model which scored below 24 in BLEU for all cases. In terms of words being translated, however, all of factored models outperforms the unfactored model.

Natural Language Processing for under-resourced languages is now a mainstream research area. However, there are limited studies on Natural Language Processing applications for many indigenous East African languages. As a contribution to covering the current gap of knowledge, this paper focuses on evaluating the application of well-established machine translation methods for one heavily under-resourced indigenous East African language called Lumasaaba. Specifically, we review the most common machine translation methods in the context of Lumasaaba including both rule-based and data-driven methods. Then we apply a state of the art data-driven machine translation method to learn models for automating translation between Lumasaaba and English using a very limited data set of parallel sentences. Automatic evaluation results show that a transformer-based Neural Machine Translation model architecture leads to consistently better BLEU scores than the recurrent neural network-based models. Moreover, the automatically generated translations can be comprehended to a reasonable extent and are usually associated with the source language input.

Extended Word Similarity Based (EWSB) Clustering is a word clustering algorithm based on the value of words similarity obtained from the computation of a corpus. One of the benefits of clustering with this algorithm is to improve the translation of a statistical machine translation. Previous research proved that EWSB algorithm could improve the Indonesian-English translator, where the algorithm was applied to Indonesian language as target language.This paper discusses the results of a research using EWSB algorithm on a Indonesian to Minang statistical machine translator, where the algorithm is applied to Minang language as the target language. The research obtained resulted that the EWSB algorithm is quite effective when used in Minang language as the target language. The results of this study indicate that EWSB algorithm can improve the translation accuracy by 6.36%.

The objective behind this paper is to analyze the English-Dogri parallel corpus translation. Machine translation is the translation from one language into another language. Machine translation is the biggest application of the Natural Language Processing (NLP). Moses is statistical machine translation system allow to train translation models for any language pair. We have developed translation system using Statistical based approach which helps in translating English to Dogri and vice versa. The parallel corpus consists of 98,973 sentences. The system gives accuracy of 80% in translating English to Dogri and the system gives accuracy of 87% in translating Dogri to English system.
