- T. Mitamura, Eric Nyberg. 1995. Controlled English for Knowledge-Based MT: Experience with the KANT System. Abstract: 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 specific to knowledge-based MT, and can be applied in the design of controlled languages for any kind of MT application.
