Patent number: 9037449Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Chang Hyun Kim, Young-Ae Seo, Seong Il Yang, Jinxia Huang, Jong Hun Shin, Young Kil Kim, Sang Kyu Park

Patent number: 8121829Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for constructing translation knowledge to be used in a translator. According to the invention, a source-language sentence and a target-language sentence are converted by receiving the source-language sentence and the target-language sentence corresponding to the source-language sentence and attaching a prototype, a part-of-speech, relative position information, and syntactic information in a base phrase to each morpheme of the source-language sentence and the target-language sentence. Then, word alignment and syntactic alignment are performed in the converted source-language sentence and target-language sentence, thereby extracting translation knowledge on words and syntaxes, translation knowledge on a subcategory of a bilingual inflected-word, and translation knowledge on a bilingual sentence pattern based on the results of the word and syntactic alignment.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Young-Sook Hwang, Young Kil Kim, Sung Kwon Choi, Chang Hyun Kim, Young-Ae Seo, Ki Young Lee, Seong Il Yang, Yoon-Hyung Roh, Chang-Hao Yin, Oh Woog Kwon, Eun jin Park
