Stray list

I realize this is a fresh article, so am trying not to judge it too harshly, but what is the following list of items doing beneath a sentence on statistical MT? As far as I know, KL-ONE is not related to MT at all (let alone SMT), and by the way, we have an article about it: KL-ONE. I do not know about the other items, but they seem to predate SMT.

  • KL-ONE [Sondheimer et al, 1984],
  • MOPTRANS [Lytinen , 1984].
  • KODIAK (Wilensky, 1986)
  • Absity [Hirst 1987]

I agree with Thüringer about the KL-ONE confusion, but overall the article does have serious confusion elsewhere. If it keeps expanding as is, it will be a mess, like Natural language understanding was before I cleaned it up. The processing/translation/understanding/generation distinction issues are not even handled here. And the differences between shallow programs like Eliza and deeper understanding attempts, vs translation are not addressed at all. The article really needs a quality flag anyway.
