METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSLATING UTTERANCES

摘要

A method of constructing translation rules using a first dataset of sentences in a source language and a second dataset of sentences in a target language is disclosed. The method comprises, acquiring at least a partial source grammar characterizing the source language and at least a partial target grammar characterizing the target language. The method further comprises, for each sentence of the first dataset, generating a mapping function for mapping an ordered set of source grammar symbols being associated with the sentence to an ordered set of target grammar symbols, thereby providing a set of mapping functions. The mapping functions are then archived in a database to be used for translation.
