To allow the precision of correction to be increased in such an application as correcting an input sentence by using a template pattern for model sentence. A plurality of template patterns for the model sentence are provided. Each of the template patterns is regarded as a plurality of templates of words/phrases by using knowledge of experts and scores are assigned to the words according to their importance. The scores are read (S1, S2), and subsequently the input sentence is read and analyzed (S3, S4). Then, the input sentence is compared with each of the template patterns and the total of scores of matching words is calculated (S5, S6). A template pattern having the highest total score is selected as an optimum template pattern and the input sentence is corrected using the optimum template pattern (S7 to S9). This method increases the likelihood that a template pattern containing a larger number of important words is selected as the optimum template pattern. As a result, the precision of the correction and evaluation can be improved.
A method for determining an optimum template pattern for a model sentence, wherein a plurality of template patterns for a model sentence, each of which being regarded as an arbitrary number of templates, are provided beforehand, and each of the template patterns is compared with an input sentence to determine a template pattern most appropriate for the input sentence as the optimum template pattern;
An evaluation method using an optimum template pattern, wherein a plurality of template patterns for a model sentence, each of which being regarded as an arbitrary number of templates, are provided beforehand, each of the template patterns is compared with the input sentence to determine a template pattern most appropriate for the input pattern as an optimum template pattern, then evaluating the input sentence based on the optimum template pattern, the method characterized by:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an evaluation method, apparatus, and recording medium using an optimum template pattern determination method, apparatus and an optimum template pattern, used in, for example, correcting and evaluating a translation. In particular, the present invention relates to an evaluation method, apparatus, and recording medium using a optimum pattern determination method, apparatus, and an optimum template pattern which allow for determining an optimum template pattern based on words having greater importance than other words and evaluating an input sentence based on the optimum template pattern.
2. Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 1 is a general block diagram of an apparatus for determining an optimum template pattern and evaluating an input sentence according to the one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining an optimum template pattern performed by the apparatus shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for evaluating an input sentence performed by the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for determining an optimum template pattern and evaluating an input sentence, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus comprises template pattern storage means 1 for storing a plurality of template patterns for a model sentence, each of which is regarded as an arbitrary number of templates, input sentence storage means 2 for storing an input sentence, and word score storage means 3 for storing scores pre-assigned to all the words used in the template patterns according to their importance, by associating with the words.
The input sentence stored in the input sentence storage means 2 is, together with the template patterns stored in the template pattern storage means 1, input into matching word retrieval means 4. The input sentence is compared with each of the template patterns and words in each template pattern which match the words in the input sentence are retrieved in the matching word retrieval means 4, then the total of the scores of the matching words in each template pattern is calculated in score calculation means 5. A template pattern having the highest total score is selected as the optimum template pattern in optimum template pattern selection means 6.
