ISMA's staff has been formed in 1978 under the guidance of Eduard and Suren Manukyans. It consists of the professorial staff and scientific workers of the SEUA. The staff has been always occupied with development of knowledgebases and artificial intelligence systems.
Since 2000 the staff has been occupied with development of textual analyzer. As a result the program package has been created. It allows to analyze the meaning of the text and represent it as a semantic tree. The program package has been donated to SEUA. The laboratory was created on the basis of this program package in 2002. The development of Armenian-English and English-Armenian translating system have been carried out in the new laboratory. In parallel to this the ISMA’s staff has continued the development of translating system’s methods (text analyzer).
The tentative version of translator was carried out due to the financial assets of the tender and Sores Foundation assigned in February, 2006. Based on these practical results the Government of the Republic of Armenia made a decision in 6th of April of 2006 to assign financial assets from its reserved fund. It has stimulated the development of the translator.
As a result, since October of 2006 the created system has been placed in Internet (
www.translator.am) for free use. The system has not commercial goal . Its future development will be realized by our personal means as well as with the help of sponsors.
