The ontology supports semantic processing in a knowledge-based machine translation system by providing a set of language-neutral symbols with semantic information. To put the ontology to use, lexical items of each language of interest must be linked to appropriate ontology items. The association of ontology items with lexical items of various languages is a process fraught with difficulty: since much of this work depends on the subjective decisions of human workers, large MT dictionaries tend to be subject to some dispersion and inconsistency. The problem we focus on here is how to associate concepts in the ontology with Japanese lexical entities by automatic methods, since it is too difficult to define adequately many concepts manually.

"text": "This paper describes a semi-automatic method for associating a Japanese lexicon with a semantic concept taxonomy using a Japanese-English bilingual dictionary as a \"bridge\", in order to support semantic processing in a knowledge-based machine translation (MT) system. Many language processing systems include networks of concepts called ontologies or semantic taxonomies [Bateman 90, Carlson & Nirenburg 90, Hovy & Knight 93, Klavans et al. 90, Knight 93] . These ontologies house the representation symbols used by the analyzer and generator. To put the ontologies to practical use, lexical items of each language of interest must be linked to appropriate ontology items. To support extensibility to new languages, the MT ontology should be language-neutral, if not language-independent [Hovy & Nirenburg 92] . However, the construction of language-neutral ontologies, and the association of ontology items with lexical items of various languages, is difficult. Since much of this work depends on the subjective decisions of more than one human workers, large MT dictionaries tend to be subject to some dispersion and inconsistency.",

"text": "We have been constructing an ontology, a large-scale conceptual network, for three main purposes. The first is to define the interlingua constituents that comprise the semantic meanings of input sentences independent of the source and target languages. They are defined in the ontology as concepts that represent commonly encountered objects, entities, qualities, and relations. As the result of analyzing the input text, our MT system parsers produce interlingua representation using the concepts. The second purpose is to describe semantic constraints among concepts in the ontology, which works to support the analysis and generation processes of the MT system. The third purpose is to act as a common unifying framework among the lexical items of the various languages. The ontology is being semi-automatically constructed from the lexical database WordNet [Miller 90 ], the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) [Knight 93] , and other resources. At the current time, the ontology contains over 70,000 items. English lexical items are associated with over 98% of the ontology. The ontology is also being linked to a lexicon of Spanish words, using the Collins bilingual Spanish-English dictionary. In our work, it is being linked to the Japanese lexicon developed for the JUMAN word identification and morphology system by the algorithms described in this paper.",

The middle region of the ontology, approximately 50,000 items, provides a framework for a generic world model, containing items representing many English and other word senses. The lower regions of the ontology provide anchor points for different application domains. Both the middle and domain model regions of the ontology house the openclass terms of the MT interlingua.

Higher confidence is assigned to the concepts whose part of speech corresponds to the ontology type. For example, the Japanese noun \"Tama\" has nine senses in the dictionary. One of these senses was shown in Figure 2 . The dictionary lists for the bilingual-concept TAMA_001 two English words: \"ball\" and \"globe\". The Ontology has respectively six and three concepts for \"ball\" and \"globe\" (see Figure 4) .

By measuring the similarity of examples, the algorithm determines the similarity of concepts. For example, the Japanese noun \"ginkou\" has one sense in the dictionary. The sense is shown in Figure 7 . There are (Bilingual-concept GINKOU_001 (Japanese-word \"ginkou\") (Japanese-part-of-speech Noun) (English-equivalent-words \"a bank\") (Examples \"deposit money in a bank\" \"have a bank account of 1,000,000 yen\" \"open an account with a bank\")) four concepts linked to \"bank\" in the ontology as shown in Figure 8 . The algorithm calculates the similarity of two word-sets (the words contained in the bilingual examples and the words contained in the ontology examples and definition sentence) by simply intersecting the two sets of words after transforming them to canonical dictionary entry forms and removing function words. In the case of GINKOU_001 example set and bank example sets, GINKOU_001 and bank_0_3 share the maximum number of words: \"deposit\" and \"money\". As a result, GINKOU_001 is highly associated with the ontology concept bank_0_3.",
