Example-based Machine Translation

For example, if we have been trained using some text containing the sentences:
''President Kennedy was shot dead during the parade.'' and ''The convict escaped on July 15th.'' We could translate the sentence ''The convict was shot dead during the parade.'' by substituting the appropriate parts of the sentences.

This translation technique does not always cover the entire language, so it is sometimes used as a component in a hybrid system.

First suggested by Nagao Makoto in 1984, it soon attracted the attention of scientists in the field of Natural Language Processing .
