Abstract

In this paper, we describe a working system for interactive Japanese syntactic analysis. A human user can intervene during parsing to help the system to produce a correct parse tree. Human interactions are limited to the very simple task of indicating the modifiee (governor) of a phrase, and thus a non-expert native speaker can use the system. The user is free to give any information in any order, or even to provide no information. The system is being used as the source language analyzer of a Japanese-to-English machine translation system currently under development.
