This paper proposes the use of "patternbased" context-free grammars as a basis for building machine translation (MT) systems, which are now being adopted as personal tools by a broad range of users in the cyberspace society. We discuss major requirements for such tools, including easy customization for diverse domains, the efficiency of the translation algorithm, and scalability (incremental improvement in translation quality through user interaction), and describe how our approach meets these requirements. ...

Machine translation (MT) has recently been formulated in terms of constraint-based knowledge representation and unification theories~ but it is becoming more and more evident that it is not possible to design a practical M T system without an adequate method of handling mismatches between semantic representations in the source and target languages. In this paper, we introduce the idea of "information-based" MT, which is considerably more flexible than interlingual MT or the conventional transfer-based MT.
