Abstract

A proposal is made for the use of contextual information in the machine translation of Japanese and English. This paper describes the use of a Context Monitor to maintain contextual information dynamically and the augmentation of appropriate features to a semantic network to enable simple inference. The approach taken is that of "best guess" processing with the contextual information being handled with semantic information on a shallow level.
