this directory contains the LOGON Transfer Matrix (TM), an attempt at providing
a reusable, basic infrastructure for the creation of new, language-specific
transfer grammars.  as of mid-2010, the core of the Transfer Matrix is straight
from the original LOGON Norwegian--English MT system, with some additions from
the experience of building Japanese--English and German--English prototypes.

between 2004 and 2010, the Transfer Matrix was maintained at the University of
Oslo, predominantly by Stephan Oepen, Jan Tore Lønning, and Petter Haugereid.
with the completion of the Paris release of the LOGON tree, TM maintenance is
transferred to Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where Francis Bond and
Petter Haugereid are actively working on transfer-based MT.
