MT research at our University began in November 1949. We realized very early the importance of a close cooperation between linguist and engineer and the advantages of working jointly for a definite project with well defined linguistic and engineering conditions and limitations. The result was the planning of an MT Pilot Model by Dr. Thomas M. Stout then of our Electrical Engineering Department and its construction under the supervision of Prof. Hill. During my research I developed linguistic solutions for the identification by machine of grammatical categories of both predictable and unpredictable compound words whose constituents occur in the machine memory and for the automatic recognition and transfer to the output of words which both graphically and in meaning are shared by the two languages concerned in the machine translation process. It is for the purpose of testing the fundamental engineering feasibility of these linguistic solutions that the pilot model was planned. Along with these researches went a steady development of an adequate terminology by the linguists and engineers of our group working in close cooperation. At present I am continuing research in all categories of words which can be omitted from the machine memory without any loss in the intelligibility and accuracy of the output text. I am also studying the problem of how to deal with proper and geographical names which are also members of the general vocabulary of a language but should be left untranslated. My research has been supported by two grants from the Rockefeller Foundation. While my research though .
