Talk by R. H. Richens Member of the Cambridge
Language Research Unit
Serious work on mechanical translation started in 1948 when A. D. Booth of Birkbeck College, London, and R. H. Richens at Cambridge began an investigation of mechanical procedures for the grammatical analysis of inflected words. Now a research group at Cambridge is studying the syntactical and semantic problems involved in machine translation. (The recorded broadcast of March 18)
