SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONVERTING A CLASSIFIER IN ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE

摘要

Systems and methods for using automated translation and other statistical methods to convert a classifier in one language to another language are provided. In one embodiment of the invention, a method preferably includes marking target language examples of passage of text in order to obtain an initial classifier in the target language (410), re-classifying a plurality of target language examples in the initial classifier (420), and then questioning - i.e., determining the validity - of the marking used to obtain the initial classifier (430). Preferably, the questioning is based on the re-classifying. Then, preferably following the questioning, the method isolates a high- qualit set of target examples based on the results of the questioning (440). Finally, the method uses the high-quality set of target examples to prepare a high-quality classifier in the target language (450).
