Recent Advances and Challenges in Natural Language Processing and Machine Translation

Chair : Ms. Shweta Roy, ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad, India

Co Chair : Ms. Sandhya Avasthi, ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad, India

The discipline of computational linguistics, also known as natural language processing (NLP), combines linguistics and computer science. It is a subfield of artificial intelligence concerned with the linguistic study of language computing, data mining, machine learning, knowledge engineering, and knowledge acquisition. This topic is difficult due to the diversity, ambiguity, robustness, information dependence, and context of language. There is a close relationship between machine translation (MT), which refers to the use of computers to autonomously translate one language into another, and the rise of natural language processing. Due to the substantial potential of this discipline as a disruptive technology, it is becoming an increasingly popular area of study. Utilizing a variety of strategies, tools, and techniques, it confronts various language barriers head-on in order to facilitate effective translation and cross-language communication. Due to the fact that NLP and MT systems rely on vast data sets and computing power, there are still numerous issues to be resolved. Machine translation (or MT for short) Automatic language translation (MT) is a branch of computational linguistics that studies how computers can be programmed to interpret written or spoken language. Word-for-word translation (WFT) is the foundation of MT; however, this alone rarely yields a decent translation, as recognition of complete phrases and their closest equivalents in the target language is also needed.
