Abstract: According to one embodiment, a machine translation apparatus includes the following elements. The machine translation unit performs machine translation on a first text in a first language to generate a first machine translation result in a second language. The retrieval unit retrieves a first question sentence in the first language similar to the first text to obtain a degree of similarity between the first text and the first question sentence. The determination unit determines a first answer sentence in the first language corresponding to the first question sentence to be an output target when the degree of similarity is higher than a threshold and determines the first machine translation result to be an output target when the degree of similarity is lower than the threshold.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a language processing apparatus includes a recognizer and a generator. The recognizer recognizes a first character string of a first language from first data associated with a first time and recognizes a second character string of the first language including a first overlapping character string which overlaps with the first character string from second data associated with a second time later than the first time. The generator applies a production rule to the first character string and the second character string to generate a first resultant character string of the first language including the first overlapping character string.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a machine translation apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor in electrical communication with the memory. The memory stores instructions. The processor execute the instructions to translate a text in a first language to a plurality of translation results in a second language, output at least one of the plurality of translation results to a screen, and synthesize a speech from at least another one of the plurality of translation results.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a machine translation apparatus includes a speech recognition unit that receives a speech input of a source language, recognizes the speech input of the source language, and generates a text of the source language, the speech input of the source language being sequentially-input, the text of the source language being the results of a speech recognition and an analysis information; a dividing unit that that decides a dividing position of units to be processed and information of order to be translated, based on the analysis information, the units to be processed being semantic units, each of the semantic units representing a partial meaning of the text of the source language; a machine translation unit that sequentially translates the units to be processed into a target language; a translation control unit that arranges the translated units based on the information of order to be translated and generates a text of the target language; and an output unit that outputs the text of the

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a machine translation apparatus for translating an original language into an object language via an interlanguage includes following units. The analysis unit analyzes an original sentence of the original language to generate analysis information. The storage unit stores a selection model obtained by modeling characteristics of translation from the original language into interlanguage candidates. The interlanguage selection unit selects the interlanguage from the interlanguage candidates based on the analysis information and selection model. The translation controller generates an object language sentence obtained by translating the original sentence into the object language via the interlanguage.
