  • Patent number: 11966711
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for translation verification and correction. According to the solution, a neural network is trained to determine an association degree among a group of words in a source or target language. The neural network can be used for translation verification and correction. According to the solution, a group of words in a source language and translations of the group of words in a target language are obtained. An association degree among the group of words and an association degree among the translations can be determined by using the trained neural network. Then, whether there is a wrong translation can be determined based on the association degrees. In some embodiments, corresponding methods, systems and computer program products are provided.
