Approaches to Disambiguation in ALT-J/E

This paper outlines our approach to disambiguation in our Japanese-to-English system. First, it briefly shows the design concept of the Multi-Level Translation Method and discusses the necessity of semantic analysis in implementing this method. Second, it introduces our two approaches involving semantic analysis for disambiguation. Then it discusses semantic analysis and introduces the outline of our semantic dictionary prepared for semantic analysis, together with their effects on disambiguation. And finally, the paper outlines our plans to tackle problems which still remain.
