Common use of Transfer Information Clause in Contracts

Transfer Information. RMT systems use special resources (dictionaries) which link source and target resources, and add source language tests and (target language) actions. The link usually is based on a directed bilingual link of <lemma,POS> from source to target. Standard lexical transfer replaces the source by the target term16. Complex lexical transfer is required in cases where 1:n transfers must be considered, i.e. where the right transfer must be selected from several target candidates. This is done by tests and actions. There are different types of tests: • Domain tags are the simplest way. Some entries are marked such that they are preferred if the text is from a specific domain. • Grammatical tests usually refer to underspecified tree configurations, either local nodes (some feature value tests, like number) or partial trees (like a verb and its direct object).17 • Semantic / conceptual tests investigate the conceptual context in transfer selection; systems supporting this feature18 usually rely on a larger context (paragraphs instead of contexts). Actions are usually linked to tests, and take care of specific constellations for a given transfer, e.g. argument switching, idiosyncratic translations of prepositions, insertion / deletion of lexical material, and the like. MT systems differ widely in the way such information is expressed and used, and in the formalisms how it is described; therefore, a representation of this information must be found which is sufficiently expressive, and as generic as possible. Single MT systems would have to compile it from there into their idiosyncratic environments.
