Linguistic Resources Dictionaries (Providing glosses for specialist terminology and general vocabulary, case frames, semantic systems) Corpora (With syntactic annotations, parallel corpora) Expansion of Linguistic resources Analysis engine Translation engine Scientific and technical papers Scientific and technical papers Chinese/Japanese Japanese/Chinese Example-based translation with deep consideration to syntactic structure Delivering a practical machine translation system within a new framework Regional Conference on Localized ICT Development and Dissemination across Asia Jan. 15, Vientiane, Laos

  8. Language Grid Project with Prof. Ishida Language Grid is a new infrastructure which treats existing language service as atomic components and enables users to create new language services by combining appropriate components. It aims at increasing the accessibility and usability of language service. Regional Conference on Localized ICT Development and Dissemination across Asia Jan. 15, Vientiane, Laos
