"The proposed project on machine translation will be based on the above pedagogy, through the study of phenomena, formalization, and then elucidation of the techniques. Case studies, examples, and historical perspectives will be used extensively to cover the material. The primary aim of this book is to provide an accessible text book on machine translation covering lucidly the foundations, insights, and case studies for practical concerns. The book would also point towards where the field is currently and heading towards in the future"-- This book discusses the three major paradigms of machine translation: rule-based, statistical, and example-based, and provides examples and insight-generating exercises..'--
