The goal is to translate sentences between two different languages. There are many possible strategies:

One of many problems is ambiguity.

  1. John saw the Grand Canyon flying to New York.

  2. United flew me to New York.

  3. I spent the day lying around the house.

  4. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Another difficulty is that each level of the above picture incurs additional cost and produces additional inaccuracy.
