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.

  • hi guys, I made the article and I share the same concerns. i just read a book about PAM and i was like 'wow', so I was hoping to make an article listing all the different nlp schemes people have made over history, some of them are so amazing...

i've put the software lists into a table, hoping to better represent them. cheers Spencerk (talk) 12:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please use this as a basis, American Association for Artificial Intelligence Brief History of AI [1] since it is pretty accurate. History2007 (talk) 13:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
