In this paper, we present an overview of the issues in designing a controlled language, the implementation of a controlled language checker, and the deployment of KANT Controlled English for multilingual machine translation. We also discuss some success criteria for introducing controlled language. Finally, future vision of KANT controlled language development is discussed.

Knowledge-based interlingual machine translation systems produce semantically accurate translations, but typically require massive knowledge acquisition. This paper describes KANT, a system that reduces this requirement to produce practical, scalable, and accurate KBMT applications. First, the set of requirements is discussed, then the full KANT architecture is illustrated, and finally results ...

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...

ant, in an unusually non-technical way, defines happiness as getting what one wants.1 Also unusual in his ethical writings is a lack of discussion on happiness, since one typically thinks of ethics as being inextricably linked to happiness. Kant does not discuss happiness much because happiness is not the basis of his system of ethics, in contrast to most ethical theories which make happiness t...

I. In this paper I want to sketch an account of the role of skepticism in Kant's critical philosophy.1 The critical philosophy set forth in the Critique of Pure Reason (henceforth: the Critique) grew from and responds to a complex set of philosophical concerns. Among these two of special importance are concerns to address skepticism and to develop a reformed metaphysics. This much is widely rec...

Both Leibniz and Kant were heirs of such a tradition. But both were also explanatory rationalists about the empirical world: more committed than your average philosopher to its thoroughgoing intelligibility. (Leibniz was also an explanatory rationalist about the nonempirical, fundamental world; on that issue, given his commitments to freedom and noumenal ignorance, Kant famously demurred.) Thes...

This paper presents a technique for generating Chinese sentences from the Interlingua expressions used in the KANT knowledge-based machine translation system. Chinese sentences are generated directly from the semantic representation using a unificationbased generation formalization which takes advantage of certain linguistic features of Chinese. Direct generation from the semantic form eliminat...

Anthropology should have a prudential or pragmatic orientation, according to Kant, a thought emphasized in the title of his 1798 “textbook,” Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View. According to the Parow notes (1772-73) of an early lecture course on anthropology, Kant described prudence as “the capacity to choose the best means to our happiness,”[25:413] a description that fits well with h...

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) defined living organisms as objects with an intrinsic purpose, which are self-organized in such a way that every part is a function of the whole and the whole is a function of every part, and in which “nothing is for nothing”. Kant already anticipated the tension between agency and structure, and between forward and backward causation. He also pe...
