Hybrid translation apparatus and method thereof

摘要

A hybrid translation apparatus includes a source language input unit for generalizing an input source language sentence for each node; a statistics-based translation knowledge database(DB) for storing learning data generalized for each node to be acquired; a first translation result generating unit for transforming the source language sentence generalized for each node into a node expression using the statistics-based translation knowledge to generate a first translation result; and a second translation result generating unit for repeatedly performing the generation of a target word for each node on the first translation result using pattern-based knowledge to generate a second translation result as target words for the respective nodes. Further, the hybrid translation apparatus includes a pattern-based translation knowledge DB for using in the pattern-based translation; and a translation result combining unit for combining the first translation result and the second translation result to output a target language sentence.
