20090006080 | COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM HAVING SENTENCE DIVIDING PROGRAM STORED THEREON, SENTENCE DIVIDING APPARATUS, AND SENTENCE DIVIDING METHOD - A typical sentence having a specific typical characteristic in the sentence is divided. A division target typical sentence is divided on the basis of a small clause definition. The sentence is divided where positions suitable for dividing the typical sentence based on the structure are expressed by a user. A small clause string including small clauses that serve as independent sentences is created after the division. The small clause string is compared to the structure patterns, and a structure pattern that is determined to match the small clause string is selected as a result of the typical sentence division. | 01-01-2009 |

20090299974 | CHARACTER SEQUENCE MAP GENERATING APPARATUS, INFORMATION SEARCHING APPARATUS, CHARACTER SEQUENCE MAP GENERATING METHOD, INFORMATION SEARCHING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT - A computer-readable recording medium stores therein a sequence-map generating program that causes a computer to execute extracting from files that include character strings written therein, a word having q (q≧2) characters; extracting from the word extracted at the extracting the word, consecutive characters from a character position s-th (1≦s≦q−r+1) from a head of the word to a character position determined by a number of characters r (r≦q); and generating, for each character position s-th from the head, a consecutive-character sequence map including a flag row that indicates, for each file, whether a file includes the consecutive characters extracted at the extracting the consecutive characters. | 12-03-2009 |
20100094617 | TRANSLATION SUPPORTING PROGRAM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD - In a computer for supporting translation work, an acquisition unit retrieves a pair of original document including a plurality of original sentences and translated document including a plurality of translated sentences from a document storage unit. An estimation unit counts the number of original sentences included in the original document and the number of translated sentences included in the translated document, and estimates a position of a translated sentence corresponding to each original sentence in the translated document based on a ratio of the number of original sentences to the number of translated sentences and a positional order of each original sentence in the original document. An alignment unit aligns each original sentence with the translated sentence located at the estimated position, and outputs information indicating the correspondences between the original and translated sentences. | 04-15-2010 |
20100114557 | TRANSLATION ASSISTANCE DEVICE AND METHOD - A device includes a parsing unit that parses an input sentence into a plurality of clauses, an identification unit that identifies, as a target area, based on the clauses resulting from the parsing, any of the clauses corresponding to an area specified, a setting unit that sets, as a target clause, any of the clauses located at a boundary of the target area identified, and sets, as a candidate for modification of the target clause, any of the clauses adjacent to the target clause in the target area. A judgment unit judges whether there exists a relationship of modification between the target clause and the candidate for modification and a determination unit determines, when the judgment unit judges that there is the relationship of modification, a translation area based on the target area, the target clause, and the candidate for modification. | 05-06-2010 |
20100250232 | RETRIEVAL RESULT OUTPUTTING APPARATUS AND RETRIEVAL RESULT OUTPUTTING METHOD - A retrieval result outputting apparatus evaluates degrees of matching on a character block basis between an input example sentence serving as a retrieval condition and retrieval example sentences retrieved using the input example sentence as the retrieval condition; extracts one of the retrieval example sentences as an extraction example sentence in accordance with the evaluation; selects a portion of the input example sentence as a reevaluation portion with reference to the extraction example. And then reevaluates on degrees of matching a character block basis between the retrieval example sentences and the reevaluation portion; re-extracts one of the retrieval example sentences as a re-extracted example sentence in accordance with the reevaluation; and outputs the extracted and re-extracted example sentences. | 09-30-2010 |
20130246048 | TEXT PROOFREADING APPARATUS AND TEXT PROOFREADING METHOD - A Japanese proofreading apparatus has a correction history corpus, a proofreading candidate generation unit, a proofreading availability determination unit, and an automatic proofreading unit. The correction history corpus stores negative sentences as post-proofreading sentences and positive example sentences as post-proofreading sentences, in association with each other. The proofreading candidate generation unit acquires the post-proofreading sentences corresponding to the pre-proofreading sentences from the correction history corpus, according to characteristics of a proofreading target sentence. The proofreading availability determination unit selects, from the post-proofreading sentences acquired by the proofreading candidate generation unit, post-proofreading sentences with degrees of similarity between the proofreading target sentence and the post-proofreading sentences equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, as proofreading candidates. The automatic proofreading unit proofreads the proofreading target sentence, using, out of the post-proofreading sentences selected by the proofreading availability determination unit, a post-proofreading sentence with the highest degree of similarity. | 09-19-2013 |
