  • Patent number: 11195513
    Abstract: A technique for estimating phonemes for a word written in a different language is disclosed. A sequence of graphemes of a given word in a source language is received. The sequence of the graphemes in the source language is converted into a sequence of phonemes in the source language. One or more sequences of phonemes in a target language are generated from the sequence of the phonemes in the source language by using a neural network model. One sequence of phonemes in the target language is determined for the given word. Also, technique for estimating graphemes of a word from phonemes in a different language is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8954402
    Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and system for enabling context surrounding a search result to be displayed succinctly. The method includes searching a document set configured as a frequency ordered suffix tree to obtain a frequency ordered context tree. Applying dynamic programming to the frequency ordered context tree to retrieve a set (C) of context strings (c) having n1 elements of context strings (c). Defining an area covered by a character string (s) in the entire set of context strings C {c1, . . . , cn1} as the product of (1) the number (n2) of context strings (c) having s as a prefix and (2) the length of character string (s). Obtaining a set of character strings (S) that maximizes the sum of areas. In addition, dynamic programming can include a pruning process such that if an upper limit does not reach a maximum value, the search in progress is abandoned.

  • Patent number: 8793121
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for calculating a score of matching a sentence with a query pattern having a dependency structure. The apparatus includes: an input unit acquiring an analysis target sentence, a query pattern and an index value indexing how a linguistic unit in the sentence tends to modify another; and a score calculation unit calculating a matching score indexing the degree of matching of the sentence with the query pattern. The matching score is represented by a function having an index value with which a dependency relation included in the query pattern is associated. The score is calculated by attempting association between a substructure of the query pattern and a range in the sentence and by performing recursive calculation in the substructure and the range while storing partial calculation result of the function in a memory area for reuse.

  • Patent number: 8682641
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and product for finding correspondence between terms in two different languages. The method includes the steps of: creating a technical term set and a general term set for each of i) a first language and ii) a second language, creating two bipartite graphs, where each graph corresponds to one of the two languages, and connects the technical term set and general term set of each language, respectively, with weighted links based on corpus information, creating a third bipartite graph by creating weighted links between general terms in the first language and general terms in the second language by using a translation dictionary, creating an association matrix M corresponding to the three bipartite graphs, calculating a similarity matrix Q by calculation of an inverse matrix, and outputting correspondence between the technical term sets of the first and second language on basis of the similarity matrix.

  • Patent number: 8495101
    Abstract: An information processing method for defining a data structure for pattern matching, the method executed by an information processing apparatus, comprises generating, by the apparatus, an ordered tree structure by defining transition edges between nodes using, as transition conditions, respective constraints from one or more constraint patterns each including plural constraints; searching, by the apparatus, for a second substructure similar to a first substructure from a root node by determining a set relation between transition conditions of respective transition edges; and defining, by the apparatus, an additional transition link from a tail node of the second substructure to a child node at a tail end of the first substructure, the additional transition link adding a constraint to be met by an indeterminant identified from the set relation.
