Machine translation is classified into six distinct paradigms: rule-based, statistical, example-based, transfer-based, neural, and computer-assisted.
Summary
This sets a shared framework for talking about how machines translate between languages, carving the field into six recognized approaches ranging from hand-coded grammar rules to modern neural AI models. It gives the system a fixed reference point so that any discussion of translation quality, strengths, or limitations can be anchored to a specific category rather than remaining vague.
