Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for editing a text of a portable terminal and a method thereof, and more particularly to a technology which edits a text which is input into a portable terminal based on a touch interface. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a text editing system of a portable terminal, including: an interface unit which inputs or outputs a text or voice; a text generating unit which generates the input text or voice as a text; a control unit which provides a keyboard based editing screen or a character recognition based editing screen for the generated text through the interface unit; and a text editing unit which performs an editing command which is input from a user through the keyboard based editing screen or the character recognition based editing screen under the control of the control unit.

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.
