  • Unilingual translator
    Patent number: 7319949
    Abstract: A machine translator trained with textual inputs generated by other machine translators is disclosed. A textual input in a first language is provided by a user or other source. This textual input is then translated by a first machine translator to generate a translated version of the textual input in a second language. The textual input and the translated version are parsed and passed through a training architecture to develop a transfer mapping, and a bilingual dictionary. These components are then used by a second machine translator when translating other textual inputs.

  • Scaleable machine translation
    Publication number: 20060085180
    Abstract: A method translates a textual input in a first language to a textual output in a second language. An input logical form is generated based on the textual input. When a plurality of transfer mappings in a transfer mapping database match the input logical form (or at least a portion thereof) one or more of those plurality of matching transfer mappings is selected based on a predetermined metric. Textual output is generated based on the selected transfer logical form.
