An algebraic approach to translating Japanese
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We use Lambek's pregroups and the framework of compositional distributional models of language ("DisCoCat") to study translations from Japanese to English as pairs of functors. Adding decorations to pregroups we show how to handle word order changes between languages.
