Abstract
Methods and apparatus for machine translation are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, information is stored in a memory which is contained in a computer, or some other device. The stored information includes a set of eigens for a number of languages, a cross-language eigen dictionary, a pattern dictionary, and a cross-language pattern dictionary. The first step of the translation is the conversion of a sentence in a first language to an instantiated pattern form. A corresponding pattern is then found in the cross-language pattern dictionary. Eigens are then found using the cross-language eigen dictionary, and a translation in a second language is assembled.
Claims1
A method comprising the steps of:
- storing information in a memory contained in a computer;
- said information including
- a plurality of eigens in a plurality of languages;
- a cross-language eigen dictionary for pairing said plurality of eigens in each of said plurality of languages;
- a pattern dictionary for each of said plurality of languages;
- and
- a cross-language pattern dictionary;
- converting a sentence in a first language to an instantiated pattern form;
- finding a corresponding pattern in said cross-language pattern dictionary;
- finding said eigens using said cross-language eigen dictionary;
- and
- assembling a translation in a second language with said eigens.
