Coping with Ambiguity in Knowledge-based Natural Language Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the strategies and techniques used by the English analysis component of the KANT Knowledgebased Machine Translation system to cope with ambiguity. The constraints for elimination of ambiguity are distributed across the various knowledge sources in the analyzer. As a result, efficiency in the analysis component is maintained, and output quality is improved.

Coping With Ambiguity in a Large-Scale Machine Translation System
In an interlingual knowledge-based machine translation system, ambiguity arises when the source 1.qnguage analyzer produces more than one interlingua expression for a source sentence. This can have a negative impact on translation quality, since a target sentence may be produced from an unintended meaning. In this paper we describe the ,nethods nsed in the KANT machine translation system to red...

متن کاملCoping with Ambiguity and Unknown Words through Probabilistic Models
From spring 1990 through fall 1991, we performed a battery of small experiments to test the effectiveness of supplementing knowledge-based techniques with probabilistic models. This paper reports our experiments in predicting parts of speech of highly ambiguous words, predicting the intended interpretation of an utterance when more than one interpretation satisfies all known syntactic and seman...
متن کاملStoring Logical Form in a Shared-Packed Forest
There are several types of ambiguity in natural languages, including lexical ambiguity, syntactic (or structural) ambiguity, quantifier scope ambiguity, and anaphora (or ambiguity of reference). Each type of ambiguity must be resolved for a natural language understanding program to be effective. Since syntax often limits the possible meanings of a sentence (and the words in the sentence), natur...
متن کاملAmbiguity Procrastination
In this paper we present the procrastination approach to the treatment of ambiguity, particularly in the context of natural language interfaces. In this approach, we try not to notice ambiguity unless we have the knowledge to resolve it available. In order to support this approach, we have developed a collection of structures that describe sets of possible interpretations efficiently. We have i...
