  • Patent number: 10467349
    Abstract: The resent disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for translating based on artificial intelligence. With the method, the text to be translated from the source language to the target language is acquired, in which, the text includes the target language term and the source language term. The candidate terms for translating the source language term and confidences of the candidate terms are determined. The candidate terms are used to replace the corresponding source language term, and each candidate term is combined with the target language term, so as to obtain each candidate translation. A probability of forming a smooth text when the candidate term is used in the candidate translation is predicted. Then the target term is chosen to be recommended according to the language probabilities of the candidate translations and the confidences of the candidate terms.

  • Publication number: 20190256944
    Abstract: An iron-based amorphous alloy. The iron-based amorphous alloy comprises components FeaBbSic, a, b and c respectively indicating atomic percentage contents, 79.5?a?82.5, 11.0?b?13.5, 6.5?c?8.5, and a+b+c=100. An iron-based amorphous alloy strip is obtained by means of a rapid quenching method in which a single roller is used. Because the iron-based amorphous alloy has higher saturated magnetic induction density, a higher amorphous formation capability and lower stress-resistance sensitivity, the iron-based amorphous alloy can be used as an iron core material for preparing a power transformer, a power generator and an engine; in addition, due to the low stress sensitivity of the iron-based amorphous alloy, the sudden short-circuit resistance capability of an amorphous transformer can be improved when the power transformer is prepared.
