<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve high-precision transliteration from other language words to Japanese KATAKANA words. <P>SOLUTION: The transliteration device is provided with; a conversion candidate rule generation means which generates a rule for a conversion candidate based on data in which the partial character string of the other language word is correlated to that of the KATAKANA word; a model generation means which generates a model for obtaining division probability for dividing the other language word into conversion units based on context information and a model for computing correspondence probability of the partial character strings of the other language and KATAKANA; a conversion candidate generation means which generates a conversion candidate of the KATAKANA and a conversion unit in the other language based on the conversion rule obtained by processing a word entered by the foreign language by means of the conversion candidate rule generation means; a probability computing means which computes the occurrence probability of the conversion candidate based on the models obtained by the model generation means and the context information in the other language and KATAKANA; and a conversion candidate selection means which selects a conversion candidate whose occurrence probability obtained by the probability computing means becomes maximum. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
