1 Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Many applications dealing with spoken-language, such as automatic telephone interpreting system, need efficient and robust processing. The system must be capable of handling many idiomatic expressions and spoken-language-specific expressions which deviate from conventional grammar.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Also, spoken-hmguage has both easy and difficult expressions to translate. In human translation when translating an easy sentence, tile translated result is produced quickly using only surface-level knowledge.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> When translating a complex sentence, a more elaborate process is performed, using syntactic, semantic, and contextual knowledge. Thus, many strategies and various levels of knowledge are used to effectively translate spoken-language.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> This paper proposes a method called Transfer-Driven Machine Translation (TDMT), which carries out efficient translation processing by driving the necessary translation processes according to the nature of the input sentence. An example-based framework can achieve quick processing and consistently describe knowledge. The integration of transfer and analysis in an example-based framework is i)roposed as a method for achieving TDMT. In this method, transfer and analysis proceed autonomously and cooperatively. Also, a well-balanced load on each process can be achieved by employing this integrated processing mechanism.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Sectiou 2 explains the idea of TDMT. Section 3 explains distance calculation and transfer in an example-based framework. Section 4 explains analysis in an example-based framework. Section 5 reports on the TDMT prototype system, and Section 6 reports on tile experimental results.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> The explanations in the following sections use Japanese-to-English translation.</Paragraph>
