BULAG 33

Some controlled languages already take into account machine translation but they have not yet been linked to research done in the field of sense mining. In the field of controlled languages the objective is to eliminate as much ambiguity as possible. In contrast, in the field of sense mining, the objective is to identify the important elements amongst large amounts of texts (sometimes even badly structured texts), in order to extract their meaning. Machine translation quality is governed and aided by minimising the representation of utterances. In consequence, the combination of these approaches could be of considerable use in creating new machine translation theories. The combination of controlled languages and machine translation is certainly not new, but there is still much work to be done. Other combinations are deemed to be of interest too and it certainly seems to be the case that the separate disciplines can profit from their mutual interrelation.
