Controlled English for Knowledge - Based MT : Experience with the KANT System 1

چکیده
In this paper, we describe the design and deployment of KANT Controlled English (KCE) for knowledge-based machine translation in the KANT system. KCE combines three kinds of constraints: constraints on the lexicon; constraints on the complexity of sentences; and the use of generalized markup language. We describe how each of these types of language control are utilized in the implementation of a typical KANT application. The principles described are not speciic to knowledge-based MT, and can be applied in the design of controlled languages for any kind of MT application.

متن کاملControlled Language and Knowledge-based Machine Translation: Principles and Practice 1
For applications with certain properties (well-deened technical domain, technical vocabulary, simple grammatical style), use of a controlled language can enhance the accuracy of knowledge-based machine translation (Baker, et al., 1994). In the continuing development of the KANT system (Mitamura, et al., 1991; Mitamura and Nyberg, 1995), we have explored diierent sublanguage techniques which lim...
متن کاملAn English-to-Turkish Interlingual MT System
This paper describes the integration of a Turkish generation system with the KANT knowledge-based machine translation system to produce a prototype English–Turkish interlingua-based machine translation system. These two independently constructed systems were successfully integrated within a period of two months, through development of a module which maps KANT interlingua expressions to Turkish ...
متن کاملPronominal Anaphora Resolution in KANTOO English-to-Spanish Machine Translation System
We describe the automatic resolution of pronominal anaphora using KANT Controlled English (KCE) and the KANTOO English-to-Spanish MT system. Our algorithm is based on a robust, syntax-based approach that applies a set of restrictions and preferences to select the correct antecedent. We report a success rate of 89.6% on a training corpus with 289 anaphors, and 87.5% on held-out data containing 1...
متن کاملAutomated Corpus Analysis and the Acquisition of Large, Multi-Lingual Knowledge Bases for MT
Although knowledge-based MT systems have the potential to achieve high translation accuracy, each successful application system requires a large amount of hand-coded knowledge (lexicons, grammars, mapping rules, etc.). Systems like KBMT-89 and its descendants have demonstrated how knowledge-based translation can produce good results in technical domains with tractable domain semantics. Neverthe...
