将英语的语法电路框架拓展至孟加拉语翻译,发现其仍有局限。

Evaluating DisCoCirc in Translation Tasks & its Limitations: A Comparative Study Between Bengali & English

  • 基于生产规则构建孟加拉语的电路化语法表示
  • 在英-孟翻译中仍对简单句处理困难,存在结构差异限制
  • 揭示该框架在跨语言翻译中的适用边界,适合关注形式化语法的研究者

本文将[4]中提出的英文分布式组合电路(DisCoCirc)形式化框架扩展至孟加拉语,并应用于英-孟翻译任务。核心目标是重新评估该框架在减少语言冗余方面的能力。与[5]的结论不同,我们的研究发现,尽管该方法在大部分语言现象中表现良好,但因英、孟两种语言的结构差异,仍存在明显局限。尤其在处理相对简单的句子时,实际效果依然不理想。这一结果不仅暴露了该框架在跨语言翻译中的约束,也指明未来改进方向。此外,我们还参考[1]简要考察了英语连词与布尔逻辑之间的关联,进一步验证了形式化结构的潜在连接。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In [4], the authors present the DisCoCirc (Distributed Compositional Circuits) formalism for the English language, a grammar-based framework derived from the production rules that incorporates circuit-like representations in order to give a precise categorical theoretical structure to the language. In this paper, we extend this approach to develop a similar framework for Bengali and apply it to translation tasks between English and Bengali. A central focus of our work lies in reassessing the effectiveness of DisCoCirc in reducing language bureaucracy. Unlike the result suggested in [5], our findings indicate that although it works well for a large part of the language, it still faces limitations due to the structural variation of the two languages. We discuss the possible methods that might handle these shortcomings and show that, in practice, DisCoCirc still struggles even with relatively simple sentences. This divergence from prior claims not only highlights the framework's constraints in translation but also suggest scope for future improvement. Apart from our primary focus on English-Bengali translation, we also take a short detour to examine English conjunctions, following [1], showing a connection between conjunctions and Boolean logic.
