Abstract: A method for establishing paraphrasing data for a machine translation system includes selecting a paraphrasing target sentence through application of an object language model to a translated sentence that is obtained by machine-translating a source language sentence, extracting paraphrasing candidates that can be paraphrased with the paraphrasing target sentence from a source language corpus DB, performing machine translation with respect to the paraphrasing candidates, selecting a final paraphrasing candidate by applying the object language model to the result of the machine translation with respect to the paraphrasing candidates, and confirming the paraphrasing target sentence and the final paraphrasing candidate as paraphrasing lexical patterns using a bilingual corpus and storing the paraphrasing lexical patterns in a paraphrasing DB. According to the present invention, the consistent paraphrasing data can be established since the paraphrasing data is automatically established.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic translation and interpretation apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a speech input unit for receiving a speech signal in a first language. A text input unit receives text in the first language. A sentence recognition unit recognizes a sentence in the first language desired to be translated by extracting speech features from the speech signal received from the speech input unit or measuring a similarity of each word of the text received from the text input unit. A translation unit translates the recognized sentence in the first language into a sentence in a second language. A speech output unit outputs uttered sound of the translated sentence in the second language in speech. A text output unit converts the uttered sound of the translated sentence in the second language into text transcribed in the first language and outputs the text.
