STATISTICS-BASED MACHINE TRANSLATION METHOD, APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A statistics-based machine translation method is disclosed. The method generates probabilities of translation from a sentence to be translated to candidate translated texts based on features of the candidate translated texts that affect the probabilities of translation and a pre-generated translation probability prediction model. The features that affect probabilities of translation include at least degrees of semantic similarity between the sentence to be translated and the candidate translated texts. A preset number of candidate translated texts with highly ranked probabilities of translation are selected to serve as translated texts of the sentence to be translated. The method is able to go deep into a semantic level of a natural language when a machine translation model is constructed to avoid a semantic deviation of a translated text from an original text, thereby achieving the effect of improving the quality of translation.
