Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of machine translation, in particular to a construction method of a semi-automatic translation bilingual template based on patent data and a semi-automatic translation system.

Background

Machine translation, also called automatic translation, is a process of converting one natural language (source language) into another natural language (target language) by using a computer, and machine translation based on an artificial neural network has been gradually developed along with great progress of research on deep learning in 2013. The core of the machine translation technology of the artificial neural network is a deep neural network with massive nodes (neurons), which can automatically learn translation knowledge from a corpus, and a high-quality massive corpus plays an important role in improving the machine translation quality. At present, the translation quality of neural network machine translation is greatly improved compared with the machine translation based on statistics and the machine translation based on rules, but the effect of some aspects, such as the adjustment related to the translation word order, can not meet the translation requirement.

As an important knowledge in machine translation systems, the translation bilingual template is an indispensable resource in many current machine translation and assistant translation systems. The past and building blocks for translating bilingual templates are often manually extracted from the corpus in early machine translation systems. Kitano takes a manual coding of translation rules in his system, using a manually written matching expression as a template for translation. However, as the corpus becomes larger, the manual method becomes more difficult and brings about many errors. Still other scholars also propose automatic machine translation template construction methods, and propose methods based on analogy learning or methods based on structure alignment. One of the two methods requires a very large scale and a large amount of similar bilingual corpus, and the other requires a sentence analyzer with high accuracy for both languages, and because of the limitation of conditions, the two types of automatic extraction methods cannot achieve satisfactory accuracy.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is urgently needed to invent a construction method of a semi-automatic translation bilingual template based on patent data and a semi-automatic translation system.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the corresponding relationship between the constant and the variable in the bilingual template, when constructing the template, corresponding constraints are required to be made on the constant itself, the variable itself, between the constant and the constant, and between the variable and the variable to ensure the accuracy of the bilingual template, where the constraints include, but are not limited to, constraints of the source language or the target language itself, constraints of the constant or the variable itself, constraints of the source language and the target language, constraints of the constant, constraints of the variable, and the like.

1) collecting Chinese and English monolingual corpus databases;

2) collecting and determining Chinese and English stop word databases;

3) performing word segmentation on the collected Chinese and English monolingual corpus database to form a word segmentation database;

4) performing minimum distance calculation on the participle database by using a Word Vec model, finding out the Word with the minimum distance between each Word in Chinese and the corresponding distance, and finding out the Word with the minimum distance between each Word in English and the corresponding distance;

5) performing similarity calculation on each found word with the minimum distance by using a TF-IDF algorithm;

specifically, the Chinese sentence (CN) to be input₁) Translating into English sentence (EN)₂) English sentence (EN) to be input₁) Translating into Chinese sentence (CN)₂)；

To CN₁、CN₂、EN₁、EN₂Respectively carries out word segmentation to form CN₁₁、CN₂₁、EN₁₁、EN₂₁；
