Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an input string in a source language;
detecting at least one of a noun phrase and a prepositional phrase in the input string;
generating a translation in a target language for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase; and
generating a translation of the input string in the target language including the translation for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase.

Abstract
A statistical machine translation (MT) system may include a noun phrase/prepositional phrase (NP/PP) translation subsystem to translation NP/PPs as a subtask in an MT operation. The NP/PP translation subsystem may use a model trained on an NP/PP corpus and a decoder to generate an n-best list of candidate translations and a re-ranker to re-rank the candidate translations based on a machine learning method and additional features based on known properties of NP/PPs.

10. A machine translation system comprising:
-
a parser to detect at least one of a noun phrase and a prepositional phrase in an input string in a source language;
a translation subsystem including a first model to generate possible translations in a target language for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase, a first decoder to generate a ranked n-best list including the possible translations, and a selector to select a translation for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase;
a second model to generate possible translations in the target language for the input string in the source language, each of the possible translations comprising the selected translation for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase; and
a second decoder to select one of the possible translations for the input string. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An article comprising a machine-readable medium including machine-executable instructions, the instruction operative to cause a machine to:
-
detect at least one of a noun phrase and a prepositional phrase in an input string in a source language;
generate a translation in a target language for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase; and
generate a translation of the input string in the target language including the translation for said at least one of the noun phrase and the prepositional phrase. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
