- Eric Nyberg. 1996. Controlled Language and Knowledge-Based Machine Translation: Principles and Practice. Abstract: For applications with certain properties (well-defined 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 different sublanguage techniques which limit the complexity of natural language analysis, thus increasing the likelihood of an accurate translation. In this presentation, we will describe some of the general techniques that have been developed for sublanguage use within the KANT system.
