| Summary: | Communication between different nations is essential. Languages which are foreign to another impose difficulty in understanding. For this problem to be resolved, options are limited to learning the language, having a dictionary as a guide, or making use of a translator. This paper discusses the development of ASEANMT-Phil, a phrase-based statistical machine translator, to be utilized as a tool beneficial for assisting ASEAN countries. The data used for training and testing came from Wikipedia articles comprising of 124,979 and 1,000 sentence pairs, respectively. ASEANMT-Phil was experimented on different settings producing the BLEU score of 32.71 for Filipino-English and 31.15 for English-Filipino. Future Directions for the translator includes the following: improvement of data through changing or adding the domain or size; implementing an additional approach; and utilizing a larger dictionary to the approach. © 2014 IEEE. |
