An Efficient Interlingua Translation System for Multilingual Document Production

Knowledge-based interlingual machine translation systems produce semantically accurate translations, but typically require massive knowledge acquisi-tion. This paper describes KANT, a system that reduces this requirement to produce practical, scal-able, and accurate KBMT applications. First, the set of requirements is discussed, then the full KANT architecture is illustrated, and finally results from a fully implemented prototype are presented.
